Loulabelle's FrancoFiles Ep 47 - Living in Versailles avec vintage Marie Antoinette! With pastries to make a queen swoon!

Molly Wilkinson has loved pastry all her life. After a brief visit to France during her College years, & also after working 9-5 in the US for a number of years (which she loved by the way!) Molly decided to follow her passion for baking and explored options to go to the Cordon Bleu cooking school in Paris!

Initially the idea was quite scary and Molly thought there would be lots of obstacles but in reality, furthering her training in cooking was more economical in Paris than in the US! She could rent an apartment in Paris, go to the famous Cordon Bleu school in the steps of Julia Child and eat French pastries in Paris every day whilst she was learning to make French pastries herself! 

Molly now lives in Versailles (no not the Château!) teaching cooking classes online and has just penned her brand new cookbook.

For FrancoFilers who are into French pastry, following Molly's adventures will not leave you disappointed! In fact Molly's enthusiasm for everything she does is infectious! I loved seeing France through her eyes. Molly chatted to me about her visit to regional areas including the Dordogne, the Loire and Normandy. Her energy and joie de vivre is just beautiful. This chat really transported me to France momentarily!
