Meet your host, Jean-Yves, at his beautifully converted cooking studio in the heart of the 3rd arrondissement for a macaron-making class that blends hands-on participation with expert demonstration. His studio is a reflection of his personality - elegantly decorated with art and furniture from both France and Asia. Enjoy a glass of sparkling champagne as you get to know Jean-Yves before stepping into his sleek, modern kitchen.
During this 1.5 hour class, Chef Jean-Yves will guide you through the process of creating traditional French macarons. You’ll watch as he demonstrates key techniques, and you’ll also get hands-on experience measuring and whisking ingredients as well as assembling and decorating your own macarons with delicious fruit or cream fillings. A skilled artist in both presentation and flavor, Jean-Yves makes this iconic French dessert come to life with passion and precision.

"Clients review - We also loved the Macaroon class. Lovely work space, he was very friendly, the only thing I will say about that was it was just shy of one hour and for the cost seemed a little short."
