A joyful Christmas Tree workshop (like a fine-tuned develop a Bear #nooffence however with eclairs) at Maitre Choux pâtisserie extraordinaire (the only choux pastry expert in the world no less) on the King’s road verified not only an bewitching few hours of imagination for my youngsters (and peace for the hubby as well as I) however it verified to be a turning point in what has otherwise been a period of ruthless arguing between my boys.
What a win.
This is what kids requirement a lot more of: distraction as well as immersion in baking/cooking as well as art. Creating, embellishing as well as eating. What might be better?
A visual feast in addition to a culinary one, those youngsters of mine were nourished in every sense of the word as well as kid did Peter, the hubby as well as I requirement the breather too.
Being plant-based, I wasn’t able to sample the fare however the kids provided them their seal of approval as well as I hear there may be a vegan eclair in the works coming soon. I hope so.
In the experienced hands (literally) of distinguished top pastry chef Phil Taylor, the kids were introduced to the culinary complexities of eclairs as well as what it takes to create such sophisticated as well as excellent morsels (3 days of prep as well as baking for those interested) as well as exactly how finest to embellish them.
Luckily for them, their eclairs appeared Blue Peter style, baked to perfection awaiting their creative flair. Jars of jewelled embellishments were at the kids disposal as well as they embellished each lively eclair with a myriad of silver baubles, numerous thousands, small sugared snowflakes as well as reindeers as well as edible shine spray.
Carefully put by steady-handed Phil on the Christmas Tree stand, they gasped in awe at their masterpiece.
Who might blame them.
If you’re in requirement of some Christmas magic, Parisienne style, Maitre Choux has it in spades.
These workshops were introduced over the joyful period as well as have verified so popular, they present the begin of a lot more to come.
Engaging, interactive as well as tasty to boot, this has been the very best (and a lot of peaceful) 2 hours we’ve spent as a household in a long time.
