Lenotre Classes: Les Macarons Noix..



mixing the macarons ingredients , adding colorants



checking the macarons from the oven.. firm and crispy




pouring water underneath the parchment paper to easily pull off the macarons without breakage..

making the chocolate ganache the french way ..


cooling and ready !







pistachio marzepan the best part was that we get to take all those delicious macarons home .. "see the gigantic ones .."


my lenotre macaron class


the second class i took was macarons class in Ecole Lenotre Paris..


will , I must admit that I really enjoyed this class .. I've never made macarons , or at least not the right way anyway.. so this was a challenge.. again , with the language constraints! ..


it was a 4 hour class , which covered nuts macarons , pistachio macarons and chocolate macarons..


mastering the art of making the macarons all the same size was a bit challenging too.. which explains why some of them turned gigantic , mostly suitable as burgers buns than macarons haha.. ah well..

Paris.. the city of love.. the city of lights.. I love this shot of the Tour Eiffel taken by my husband.. way to go!
macarons of many flavors in dreamy packages at LADUREE Paris.. my favs were Rose , Pistache and Framboise macarons..
a whole pistache macaron cake at LADUREE... oh honey!

  6. Great post and pictures :), did you ever try making them at home afterwards? I think its something that takes a lot of practice, especially when it comes to piping out the macaroon shells.
    By the way, just tried Laduree's orange flower macaroon for the first time. Its great :D
