My Sweet Winter Travels
This year, my husband and I decided we would take our kids on a very special vacation.......London and Paris!We left on Saturday, February 18, their very first day of winter break and spent the entire week traveling back and forth between London and Paris.Being the owner of a dessert business, I felt it was my obligation to take some sort of class in Paris. However, my course requirements were very specific.......something in which I wanted to increase my skills; something that I could make in large quantities, working alone; something I could make the day before; something I could teach to others; and of course it had to be something chocolate!Luckily, I found Prommenades Gourmandes located in the Marais District of Paris. They are recommended on the blog of Rosa Jackson, a cooking instructor in Nice, France. Upon my arrival, both Paule and Betty (the owners) welcomed me like I was family. They poured me coffee and placed a basket of croissants, fresh from the bakery in front of me. Betty, who would be my instructor that morning, sat with me and chatted about what we would be working on. Betty, now the pastry instructor at Prommenades Gourmandes, is an acclaimed pastry chef who once owned seven pattisseries in the South of France.......all at one time! I made some very silly mistakes, trying to concentrated on our recipes while using the metric system and math at the same time. Betty was extremely patient and wasn't a bit worried that we would go over our alloted time for our lesson. When we finished, we plated our creations......chocolate caramel tart, rocher chocolates, black forrest verrines and death by chocolate cake. We sat at the beautifully set table in adjoining dining room and shared our sweets with Paule, her intern Anna and Marion, who was waiting his turn to be Betty's next student. They would be working on macarons so that Marion could perfect the technique in his Macaron shop which I believe he said was in Bankok. After our 4 course dessert meal, I ventured out to find my way to G. DeTou and Mora, an ingredient store and a kitchen supply store I had read about online in the blog of pastry chef David Lebovitz. It was the most memorable day of my trip. I am already thinking about what I would like to work on with Betty next.........choux? macarons? tarts?
