Making Macarons and memories

We did a making Macarons course at Chez Manon and we absolutely lucked out with having Jessita as our guide. She was a wonderful teacher with myself, my father and my two children. My daughter who is usually quite reserved and shy came out of her shell with Jessita’s encouragement creating the best tasting macarons we have had in or out of Paris.
Fun for teens and everyone!

Jess was a wonderful instructor, so patient and knowledgeable. My fifteen year old son and I weren't the most talented, but the macarons still turned out great! It was a memorable and sweet experience. We loved it.
Pierre was great!
