Very fun and I learned a ton! Thanks Florence! - This class was really fun. Our teacher, Florence was really detailed in her instructions and gave us tons of feedback. She really helped me improve me technique. I learned a lot about making a successful meringue base for the cookies, piping just right, and about making some great fillings for them as well. Afterward, we sat and enjoyed some of the macarons with some tea. We then got to pack up macarons in a box to take along. She was right! They are much tastier the next day!

The best part of our trip! - This macaroon making class with Chef Stephane Jimenez was my favorite part of our trip to Paris! Our family of 5 (ages 13, 10 and 7) enjoyed a morning of macaroon-making in the most beautiful kitchen. Stephane was an excellent teacher and made it such fun to make these treats. Would absolutely recommend for locals or visitors!

Worth the time and money! - Such a cool experience! Highly recommend this fun class. Plus, you’ll have new skills in making macarons in almost unlimited variations. Chef Stephan was engaging, professional, & fun. Le Foodist is beautifully decorated, clean, & well-organized. The box of macarons sent home with me won’t last long.

Great! - We had a great time! Anna - our chef- explained every step accurately so each of us could take home a box of wonderful macarons. Anna made us feel very welcome and our small group of seven people had a lot of fun. After the baking we had tea or coffee and could Taste our macarons. I can highly recommend this activity!
