Our host for this activity is very welcoming and very organized. Her workshop place is very cute and clean. All the participants had a chance to try to pipe the macaroon batter into the baking sheet. I think we did 3 rounds so 3 chances to get the piping right. I thought we will each have our own equipment and ingredients to make our own batch of macaroons but it wasn't the case. Theres only one equipment and one set of ingredients and we all just shared the job of measuring the ingredients and sifting and piping, since the kitchenmaid did all the whipping. We each took a sample box of the 2 flavors of macaroons that we made, lemon and pistachio. But overall it was a great experience.

Our experience was nothing but exciting and educational, all at once. Coming from only looking through windows of French Patisseries, to then learning from a leading French baker in a cozy and welcoming Parisian kitchen, it was truly a one of a kind experience. It was certainly a highlight from our first trip to Paris, and we are certainly looking forward to the next time we are able to attend another class.

Noémie provides hands on instruction filled with great tips to help budding pastry chefs succeed back home. Our class of seven students ranged from a trained pastry chef to an 8 year old novice and Noémie was able to ensure everyone gained useful skills. Her studio is comfortable and well equipped for a fun session in the kitchen and we left with recipes, boxes of the delicious macarons we made, and tips for exploring Paris and for shopping for the ingredients we'll need at home. I can't recommend this class highly enough!
