Join Pastry Chef Nicole Bujewski, of The Book Kitchen in Mineral Point, as she demonstrates a classic French pastry found in every pâtisserie in France. During the demonstration, Nicole will show how to perfect an Italian meringue, the French technique of macaronage, and a chocolate ganache filling.
During the demonstration, Nicole will provide expert tips, troubleshooting solutions, and a sample after class.
(Why a French baking class? It will make sense when you read the book!)
Allergen-Friendly: Macarons are gluten-free and made with almond flour, eggs, and dairy.
