PARISIEN MACARONS

FIRST COURSE Chef Taryn Garcia
Behind the Plate: Chef Taryn Garcia

Ah, Paris! The city of lights and love! What’s not to love about this city, or the entire country of France for that matter, at least through a foodie’s perspective? The French practically invented cooking! Everything from culinary technique, to the world’s first cooking school, to some of the world’s tastiest treats we still see and eat today. I swear, I could wake up to a freshly baked croissant every morning for the rest of my life and be happy. While we’ve been recently surrounded by modern techniques and new world cuisines, it’s nice to see and learn about chefs that are looking back to the roots of cooking and baking that originated in France. One such chef being, the very talented and very promising, Taryn Garcia of Cours La Reine Bakery in Brooklyn, New York.
