In this hands-on cooking class with Chef Anna, you'll learn the skills and techniques for making classic French macarons to become your own Parisian pastry chef. She will teach you the difference between a French, Swiss and Italian meringue, before going over the ins and outs of macaron-making, including professional piping techniques, how to keep sugar from crystalizing when cooking, and other important techniques. To kick off your macaron-making workshop, you'll first create the traditional batter for delicate and airy almond macaron cookies before learning to make Italian meringue buttercream batter. Then, she will guide you through the process of crafting your dainty French cookies, starting with chocolate macarons, before moving on to vanilla macarons and finally, seasonal macarons with fillings like praline crunch, citrus curd and chocolate ganache.

Chef Anna is wonderful! Her teaching style was fun, informative, and engaging. We learned so many useful tips and techniques and her desserts were incredible! I highly recommend her classes to anyone in the Las Vegas area!
Chef Anna began her career creating French pastries before moving to Germany and starting up a bakery where she offered American treats. She eventually transitioned to traditional breads and spent five years managing a bakery in Central Texas. Her curiosity for science helps her understand her creations and improve her recipes. Chef Anna believes anyone can learn to create fabulous baked goods and enjoys demystifying the process for her students.
