Cooking Class - Artisan French Macarons - Austin

WHAT YOU’LL DO

Handcraft a timeless French dessert from start to finish with Chef Ashley.

In this hands-on cooking class, Chef Ashley will guide you through crafting traditional macarons that are both gorgeous and delicious. Using high-quality, fresh ingredients, you'll make a shell and three fillings from scratch.

After preparing your hazelnut macaron shells, you'll pair the shells with three different fillings commonly found in French pâtisseries. These indulgent fillings include dark chocolate ganache, salted caramel with miso and black sesame, and seasonal fruit curd infused with blood orange juice. You're invited to bring your own to-go containers to take your creations home.

Guests are welcome to bring wine and beer to enjoy during the class.

Chef Ashley was a really sweet, engaging, and informative host. I took my mom to this class for mothers day, and it was just perfect!

We had a great experience with Chef Ashley. She is a wonderful host. We learned many things about chocolate that we never knew before and left much more knowledgeable about cacao, the chocolate-making process, and all other things involved. The truffles we made were delicious. We would suggest having larger glove sizes for the customers that cannot fit into small or medium size gloves.

It is clear that Ashley puts her heart and soul into her creations. Her attention to quality is unmatched. Her passion for ethical sourcing, processing, and preparation shows through in her final products. No exaggeration, every dish/confection I have tried of hers is literally the best I've ever had. Most importantly, Ashley is the sweetest and such an amazing teacher! I highly recommend working with Ashley for anything!

Let me start off by saying this is not your basic Hershey chocolate! Ashley's chocolate truffle class is a one of a kind experience that results in a rich exquisite taste in your mouth. It is obvious that she is extremely knowledgeable in the process of producing chocolate and how the beans are grown.

My experience with Ashley was nothing short of exceptional. She taught our group of six friends the subtleties and nuances of Mexican chocolate. After learning about and savoring three different origins, she served up delicious savory courses made with what we just tasted. If you want to elevate your understanding of chocolate and eat some sophisticated Mexican flavors, you should book Chef Ashley.
