Macaron Masterclass Cambridge - £137

Learn to make these iconic French treats and perfect your patisserie skills

10am until 3pm Cottenham, Cambridge

What will you learn in my macaron class?

Ah, the macaron – a beautiful, delicate little morsel that was Marie-Antoinette’s favourite indulgence. These little treats look gorgeous and can take a vast array of colours and flavours, but they can also be truly fiendish to make.

This class guarantees to take the mystery (and the madness) out of macaron making. I will teach you my fool-proof recipe, taking you through the steps from French meringue to macaronage, via a variety of delicious fillings and flavour options, plus all my favourite tips and tricks.

At the end of our time together, you will receive a colourful box of your own creations to take home with you.

What you'll get:

  • Homemade lunch.
  • Aprons to wear throughout the class.
  • All the ingredients and equipment needed to make your macarons.

Meet Corinne Payet: Where Passion Meets Plate at Gourmandises Académie

For me, cooking is more than just a skill, it’s a lifelong passion ignited in my childhood.

Though I was born on the sun-kissed island of Réunion, it was growing up in the heart of Provence that truly shaped my culinary foundation. The vibrant energy of my Réunionnais roots, combined with the refined techniques of French cuisine, creates a unique blend that you’ll experience in every class at Gourmandises Académie.

I believe in adding a touch of sunshine to every meal, and you’ll find that reflected in my signature dishes, where I playfully incorporate tropical Réunionnais flavours into sophisticated French classics.

All the recipes we explore at Gourmandises Académie are my own original creations, born from countless hours of experimentation and a deep love for sharing delicious food.

It was an honour to have received three stars in the Great Taste Awards, a testament to the dedication poured into each dish. I’m thrilled to open my home and share these “gourmandises” with you, inviting you to discover new flavours and techniques in a warm and inspiring environment.
