Le goûter: Classic French after-school snacks

Think French baking is complicated? Actually, it's a jeu d'enfant - so easy even kids can create beautiful treats! Join Mardi Michels, author of In the French Kitchen with Kids (Appetite by Random House July 2018) and French Food for Everyone (2021, 2022), in the kitchen to learn how to bake some classic French sweet treats.

The school day in France is long, so when school lets out, children need a little something to tide them over to dinner – which isn’t served until around 8:00 PM). Enter le goûter. The only time when it’s socially acceptable to snack during the day, le goûter does not quite have an equivalent in other countries.

It’s a small sweet (never savoury) snack that can be eaten on the go, perhaps en route to extra-curricular activities. If you don’t have the option to pick up a packet of store-bought French cookies or pop by the boulangerie, join cookbook author, Mardi Michels in this class, where you will learn to make 4 classic recipes: Financiers, Madeleines, Speculoos and Sablés Bretons
