In 2013, Molly Wilkinson followed her passion for pastry by studying pastry at Le Cordon Bleu in Paris. After graduating, she spent time working in pastry shops across the United States and France, as well as chateaux, cooking schools and French farmhouses, learning as much as she could about the art of fine pastry. Today, Molly teaches small, private classes at her home in Versailles, and she’s taking the next step in her pastry journey with her debut cookbook, French Pastry Made Simple: Foolproof Recipes for Éclairs, Tarts, Macarons and More (Page Street Publishing, Co: June 8, 2021; $22.99).
