God bless Groupon and
their vouchers. I purchased and cashed
in a French Macaron making course. Sometimes with Groupon you get a good deal
because someone genuinely thinks that it’s worth giving something good away for
a cheaper price, other times it’s clear that the only way to get people through
the door is through a Groupon voucher.
I
would say the course was more of the latter. A bit of a tatty, rather cluttered ‘caff’ in
Shoreditch run by a lady who lives in a world of ponies and fairies and
rainbows. There was barely space to
swing a cat, let alone have 10 girls in there learning how to make macarons. Nothing was prepped….she had one set of scales
and each of us had to come up and queue to weigh each ingredient. There were enough bowls to go around but only
one hand mixer and one mixing spoon. It
was so hilarious it didn’t really matter.
The outcome though was a large supply of macarons which came out ok (tasted fine, but anything sugary always does). 10 left!
