Classic French tarts can be sweet or savory. In this hands-on cooking class, you will learn how to prepare tender crusts that can be filled in a variety of ways. Featured recipes include leek and smoked salmon tart for a main course and a dark chocolate and pear tart for dessert.
Not to be confused with the coconut macaroon, the macaron is a sweet meringue-based confection made with egg whites, icing sugar, and almond powder or ground almond. Characterized by a smooth, rounded top, ruffled perimeter, and flat-footed base, it is mildly moist and chewy.
The macaron is commonly filled with ganache, buttercream or jam filling sandwiched between two biscuits. Chef Rachel will guide you to success creating this traditional French confection and you will take a home a box of your very own! A light lunch will be provided.
