About

Did you know that macarons actually have Italian origins?

In this cooking class, I'll teach you the Italian method to preparing delicious macarons, from preparing the filling (ganache) to making Italian meringue with almond paste. Together, we'll use a sac à poche to pipe the macarons. Once they're in the oven, the entire kitchen will be filled with the sweet scent of homemade macarons.

I'm a professional pastry chef and I've loved cooking since I was very young. I'm Neapolitan, this is probably why! Cooking is at the heart of our culture. I'm particularly in love with Italian-style macarons, and would like to share my passion with you by teaching you the secrets to making the perfect macaron.

As an added bonus, we will first meet at the Piazza San Salvatore in Lauro, which dates from the 16th century and has a magnificent view of Castel Sant'Angelo. Then we'll head to my apartment nearby to start our macaron class!

"Absolutely wonderful!"

My family and I enjoyed the macaron class so much. Fortuna was such a wonderful host. It felt like we were spending time with dear friends! I highly recommend her class and the macarons were delicious! I can’t wait to make macarons at home. Thank you Fortuna for a wonderful experience! Gratzi!

"Excellent class"

I scheduled this class at the last minute and on a Sunday. Fortuna hosted us in her home and could not have been more gracious to me and my three friends. She is a professional pastry chef with a successful business, so she really knows her stuff. In the past making macarons has always been a miserable experience for a few of us. I can now say, with Fortuna help and expertise it will never happen again. Great class. Thank you, Fortuna!!

"Fantastic !"

Absolutely the best macarons we have ever had. Monica took time to explain each step carefully and it was all hands on. She was extremely professional and very sweet! We would highly recommend taking any class from her!
