About this event

2 hours

The school day in France is long, so when school lets out, children need a little something to tide them over to dinner – which isn’t served until around 8:00 PM). Enter le goûter. The only time when it’s socially acceptable to snack during the day, le goûter does not quite have an equivalent in other countries.

It’s a small sweet (never savory) snack that can be eaten on the go, perhaps en route to extra-curricular activities. If you don’t have the option to pick up a packet of store-bought French cookies or pop by the boulangerie, join cookbook author, Mardi Michels in this class where you will learn to make 3 classic recipes: Financiers à la Pistache (Pistachio Financiers), Biscuits “Lunettes” (Jam Sandwich Cookies) and Torsades au Chocolat (Chocolate Custard Puff Pastry Twists).

This is a parent-child cooking class - come and bake with your child. Children must be accompanied by at least one adult. Price is per person.

This class requires a minimum of 8 parent-child pairs people to run.

***Please note – no refund for cancellations made after May 11th , 2024. Tickets are, however, transferable to another person after that date.
