I’m over the moon now I can make perfect macaroons

Class: Mastering Macaroons at Atelier des Chefs in the City of London.

Expectation: To make perfect macaroons.

On Offer: Two hours making four selected flavours of macaroons. I chose peanut butter with raspberry, chilli-spiced tonka bean with white chocolate, lime and fresh ginger butter cream, and salted butter caramel.

What we did: The chef helped the group make the macaroon mixture before adding different colours and transferring to piping bags. We learned how to pipe perfect, professional-looking macaroons. Macaroons need to form a skin before baking so while we waited we made the fillings.
