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.
