Description
Embark on a delightful journey into the enchanting realm of Madeleines, where we'll uncover the secrets behind crafting these exquisite treats.
Often associated with the French novelist Marcel Proust (Madeleines de Proust), Madeleines hold a special place as one of France’s most cherished desserts, boasting their distinctive shell shape. Enjoyed hot in the French markets alongside a morning coffee or as a 4pm goûter, they've been captivating palates for centuries. Legend has it that in 1755, Louis XV, charmed by the delectable cakes crafted by Madeleine Paulmier, bestowed upon them her name. Maria Leszczyska, his wife, then introduced these delights to the Versailles court, where they became a favorite of the royal family before winning over the entire nation.
Whether you're discovering these treats for the first time or rediscovering their timeless allure, Madeleines promise a journey filled with sweetness and tradition.
In this culinary adventure, led by our French pastry chef, Fred—a scientist turned pastry chef with a knack for innovation—you'll gain a unique perspective on crafting these delectable pastries. With Fred's scientific background, he brings a fresh approach to pastry-making, blending mouthwatering flavors with accessible techniques. Through hands-on guidance, you'll master the art of creating perfect madeleines, from shaping and piping to baking and decorating.Whether you're an experienced baker or a novice, this immersive experience in French pâtisserie promises to inspire and elevate your baking skills to new heights.
