What’s the difference between a macaron, macaroon, and Macron? Well, we are discussing this and so much more with our special guest today.
Molly Wilkinson is a pastry chef trained at Le Cordon Bleu who left roles working in pastry shops in the USA to teach us pastry in her fabulous Versailles kitchen. That’s why I like to call Molly the princess of pastry.
Today’s topic on Fabulously Delicious is one that Molly is pretty much an expert on. Molly told me when she was working in Patisseries she would be making thousands of macarons a day. Amazing! So we learn from Molly what is a macaron and what the difference between a macaron and a macaroon is. Also, what’s in the macaron as well as Ladurée one of her favorite places to get macarons in Paris. Then we chat about meringues as well and which is the best for macarons, Italian, French or Swiss.
The place Molly mentioned that she worked in first in Paris was La Fabrique á Gateaux - https://www.instagram.com/lafabriqueagateaux
