Follow up to Macaron Parlour Interview
Macaron Parlour is open! Chef Kathryn Gordon visited last Saturday with her new Mod 1 class at ICE (The Institute For Culinary Education). The dynamic couple Christina Ha and Simon Tung, owners of the Macaron Parlour, kindly hosted a tour of their production kitchen and beautiful retail space -- lots of chairs to enjoy macarons over tea!
Christina and Simon both shared their experiences in transitioning from the Hester Street Farm Market to opening their own retail bakery: It always takes longer! You can't quite visualize your space until you are "in it." And there are more things you have to figure out than you can possibly plan for.
