Macaroons and macarons might not be interchangeable, but they're both delightful sweet treats that you'll learn how to make in this fun cooking class! In this interactive class taught by Chef Lisa, you'll learn the delicious difference between these two iconic cookies and how to make them expertly every time.

First, you'll master the art of the classic macaroon, which has a distinctly crunchy exterior and a smooth, chewy interior. You'll roll these treats in shredded coconut and toast them to perfection. Next, you'll make the beloved French sandwich macaron cookies, which consist of two delicate almond cookies pressed together with smooth ganache or jam. Lastly, Chef Lisa will teach you how to make a no-bake chocolate macaroon made from cashew butter and apricot jam.

MENU

Coconut Macaroons

Chef Lisa is THE BEST!! My friend and I are both dairy free and gluten free (one is celiac) and we had the best experience. Chef Lisa was kind, patient, witty, and a great teacher. At the start of class, she asked what we wanted out of this and exceeded all expectations. I have zero prior cooking /baking knowledge and she made me feel really good about it/what I did :) Plus the pies were delicious. 1000000/10 on the mushroom, leek, and (df) cheese pies :) We cannot wait to go back!! Thank you!

Chef Lisa worked with my daughter and a friend to create delicious gluten free savory and sweet pies. The food itself was superb. Lisa was enthusiastic and personable and delivered a top quality experience. We would definitely participate again.

Fun recipes! The class moves VERY fast though! We prepped everything ahead of time and had two people in the kitchen, and were still struggling to keep on track. Be prepared to have to finish the majority of the actual baking after the class!

My husband and I had so much fun learning about chocolate with Chef Lisa! We learned about different types of chocolate, different processes, what’s actually happening to the chocolate throughout, and she guided us to make the most amazing chocolates ourselves. She was warm, friendly, funny, and knowledgeable, and we immensely enjoyed her class. We weren’t sure what to expect from the class, but it exceeded our expectations and we left with new skills and a really fun memory.

After a number of tries, I was unable to connect via Zoom - error message that the link was invalid. Tried Classpop support but there was no one available. I will say that Chef Lisa provided sufficient details so that I could create the Macarons on my own. There was some kind of disconnect at ClassPop! so I provided a single star.

This class with Chef Lisa was phenomenal! I have tried to make macarons so many times in the past and have never been able to master them, but this class left me with perfect results. Chef Lisa checks in with each participant frequently, helps troubleshoot, and keeps everything fun and light-hearted. Looking forward to my next class!

Lisa had some top tips and the end product was delicious! She has a way to instill confidence and shares details of textures and expected consistencies and so on that would be hard to learn alone.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge and talent!

My husband who has come to cooking later in his life, was reluctant at first, but with Lisa's encouragement, he ended up cooking like a pro! We both learned a lot and my husband came away feeling very excited about his ability to cook!

18 Feb 2020

She literally could not be more responsive to her clients' needs. I can't recommend Lisa high enough. So glad we found her!
