Hi, I’m Sandra. I’m a retired teacher who has been gluten-free for over 24 years. I want to share my experience with others, particularly the newly diagnosed.
I learnt to make macarons back in 2020 from a French pâtissière chief. I am not a qualified chef but I love baking macarons and have been running classes, in my home kitchen, for a few years. I only run two classes a month, including private bookings. I like the idea that you don’t need a commercial kitchen to make these beautiful treats. You will go away with all the skills to make beautiful macarons at home. I also provide support, through Instagram. So if you have any question after the class, you can still get help and advice.
In the future, I plan on creating classes on gluten-free cooking. I love cooking Italian and French food using gluten-free ingredients. The idea of cooking together and enjoying the fruits of our labour together is what I feel food is all about. I want to share this love with others through small group classes in my home kitchen.
