January 17 @ 11:00 AM - French Macarons

Macarons have a (well-deserved) reputation for being fickle and difficult, but Tom will teach you the methods to take the mystery out of the process. In this hands-on class, you will not only learn the techniques to achieve consistently beautiful results, but you’ll also make and take home a dozen (or more!) of your own colorful, delicious macarons.

You will learn:

• The methods for removing variables from the process
• The nitty-gritty that will help provide more consistent results
• The French methods for making a meringue
• The details and struggles with the macronage of the batter, piping techniques, and understanding your oven
• Recipes and ideas for fillings to give these fantastic cookies your own flair and signature.

About the Chef... Tom Apedaile (AKA The Bearded Baker) learned to bake as a child in his mother's kitchen. As he grew up, he fell out of love with the kitchen until he began watching The Great British Bake-Off. Something there, ignited the fire within him again. You will love how Tom takes his background in mathematics and physics and applies these skills for precision and detail in his baking techniques. Tom's motto is "Food that we share is an expression of ourselves and forms lasting bonds and memories."
