Today was supposed to be DODO's golf day. To make good use of my weekend too, I signed up for macaroon cooking class at famous Lenôtre.However, DODO caught the flu bug and was feeling a little under the weather when he got up this morning. DODO may be stubborn most of the time but I have to say when it comes to the flu bug, he becomes all good - lots of rest, lots of fluid and regular meds. Surely paid off.. he's feeling better this evening already.
So, did I go for my cooking class? Yeap, I did! Felt a little guilty leaving DODO home but it was committed so I went.
Did I have fun? Yeah I did... afterall, I do love macaroons :)
These are some photos from the class today. The chef teacher was very patient and took time to explain to me in English the ingredients and the steps. Is it easy? He sure made it seem easy.. but there's a lot of precision involved.. 82 degrees, 105 degrees etc etc..
3 flavours - Chocolate, Raspberry and Caramel (Yummmmmmcious!)
Would I do it again? Definitely will... maybe it will given me some motivation to learn a little more french. The conversations going on in class sure seem fun. Although I honestly didn't understand anything =P
These must be almond, not coconut, macaroons, eh?
ReplyDeleteDo you like the coconut ones?
Yes.. I have had some coconut ones in NY. I like those too... the sweet chewy feel.
ReplyDeleteThis is the french style and DODO says I have spelled my incorrectly - it should be macaron (one "o" and not two =P)
In English, it's 2 o's, though.
ReplyDeleteyou learnt how to bake macaroons?!? i wanna eat it too!
