I'll be in Paris during the first week of May, and I'm looking for an affordable macaron class to take while I'm there. I know that you've taken a few classes, and was wondering which one you would recommend?

Very hi quality ingredients but boring pastries. I may be the only one who thinks so since the place is always packed and he has another place in SF and in the International Airport. Why do people like dry, uninteresting cookies, etc.?<br />xxx<br />AnnieFoodWalkerhttp://www.AnnWalkerCatering.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-37617730581654765462011-04-06T10:59:55.431-04:002011-04-06T10:59:55.431-04:00Ah-haaaaa!

What a very naughty girl you are...and from what I hear, always have been. Thank goodness you're also a wonderful artist. So I, for one, forgive your cajolery.<br />Please don't stop.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03993326014397185465noreply@blogger.com
