Mairianne’s topic this term is France so her topic homework was to research French Patisseries and choose a traditional French patisserie recipe to try. Mairianne found out that bakeries in France can only become a patisserie if they have a patissier – a licensed master pastry chef! To become a patissier you have to get a qualification which involves studying and working long hours developing and perfecting your baking skills. Mairianne decided to make French macarons. Here are some photos of Mairianne making the delicious chocolate macarons!
