Learners will learn how to make delicious French pastries, using traditional methods such as whipping, folding, tempering, decorative slicing and will learn how to decorate and present their dishes for friends and family. Learners will be able to adapt recipes using their own flavor combinations and decorations. Learners will work together in teams to create the best flavor combinations for macarons and will learn to evaluate and offer feedback by becoming "pastry judges." 

As a young child, I was always interested in France and French culture. I took many years of French in high school and I learned to make most of my French dishes in my early teens by watching French cooking shows, exploring recipes and by testing everything in the kitchen. Growing up, I was responsible for planning and cooking meals for my family two to three times per week. When I lived in Vancouver, BC I was fortunate to have a Parisian who lived in the apartment next door. I would ask questions about French cooking and he would come up to help me perfect my already delicious crepe recipe. The biggest lessons I've learned being an amateur pastry chef is to not be afraid to try, to substitute when necessary and to remember that even if everything doesn't come out perfect, it will come out delicious!

Learners will assess their own creations by tasting them and evaluating the steps as they go. Learners will also be using a rubric to evaluate each team's macaron recipe. I will evaluate based on classroom comments, pictures as well as through assisting each team to create their project.
