It is an icon of French patisserie and a staple of the Great British Bake Off, but how do you make the perfect macaron?
Well, wonder no longer, as Scots businesswoman Rachel Hanretty, a.k.a. Mademoiselle Macaron, has promised to reveal her secret recipe during her new macaron making classes.
Rachel will hold classes at the Edinburgh School of Food and Wine on Wednesday, November 13 and Wednesday, December 11 2013, with dates also planned for 2014.
Foodies will get the chance to learn how to make five different flavours of macaron during each class. They will also walk away with a box of baked goodies at the end of the class.
Rachel said: "Mademoiselle is a cheeky Scottish lassie bringing the luxury of French macarons and Parisian style to her native Scotland.
"We are very happy to say we are working with the Edinburgh School of Food and Wine to host two macaron classes.
"You will learn five different flavours of macaron and walk away with enough macarons for you and your friends.
"Wow your friends and family this Christmas with macarons."
Rachel, a HeraldScotland blogger, launched her French patisserie business, which specialises in macarons, earlier this year.
Her tasty treats have already been snapped up by a number of Scots stores.
Mademoiselle Macaron's cooking classes will run from 6pm-9pm.
