Macarons Masterclass at Baroque Bistro
Couple of years ago I was lucky enough to be in the same room with Luigi, the main tailor at Versace. Everything he put his hands on turned into something magically special, it was like witnessing art taking shape before my eyes. As simple as that. He and his team could put together a dress in 24h, but not just a dress… stunning evening gowns to walk the red carpet for the Academy Awards.
Comparing fashion to cooking would probably sound a little weird to the most of you… but I do have a point. Tailoring require precision, mastery, incredible knowledge, time and passion. Lots of passion. I believe cooking is the same… I will never forget Luigi, pretty much like I will never forget Jean Michel.
At 9am on a sunny Sunday morning, 8 girls met in front of Baroque Bistro in the Rocks. For those who have never eaten there before, I would highly recommend it. Food is great, staff is lovely and that is good enough reasons to go back every week. The mission? Create perfect, rounded, footed, colourful and tasty macarons… with Jean Michel guiding us step by step. Enjoy the pics!
Le Baroque Bistro…
… Le Ganache et Le Caramel au beurre salé…
… Le mélange…
… Les Macarons!
The pictures at the top is my favourite, which is why is the first one you see… There are sixty more from today, but I thought this for now would do. It has been a wonderful day, learnt a lot, laughed a lot and surprisingly enough the macarons I brought back with me are still in the fridge, untouched. You see, apparently they have to set for a day or two… let’s hope I resist till Wednesday!
Stay tuned for the recipe and more pics!
