This baking class is all about exploring the thoroughly brilliant Parisian concoction – Le Café Gourmand – a wonderful coupling of a good Espresso, a pousse-café* and miniature versions of four or five French pastries. It’s a small, extravagant luxury – go on, treat yourself!

*Pousse-café – a little glass of a good, strong alcohol, i.e. Calvados, Cognac, Armagnac

During this 3.5-hour class, you’ll learn to make French desserts thanks to hands-on instruction from Alisa of Sweet Pea Paris, an American chef and cook book author who has called France her home for nearly 20 years now.

A typical class may include making mini-Palmiers (elephant ear cookies), mini-fruit tartes, Madeleines, Chocolate Mousse (basically all bite-sized goodies)… And there’s always a chance that Alisa will have mini meringues with cream ready and waiting for you.

Welcoming you into her Paris home, she’ll share baking techniques and stories of life in France, and you’ll even get a glimpse of the Seine. You’ll finish your session around her big kitchen table, indulging in your Café Gourmand.
