Yep, in S6 E3 of James Martin’s Saturday Morning, James will be making a delicious looking gateau which is adorned by OUR MACARONS!!  James also has a conversation with us via zoom about why the business was started and a bit about my background.

It was a very surreal experience, but it was fantastic to be part of.  We applied to be part of the show after a few tags on social media from friends.  Following our application, the show’s producer then reached out and said they were really keen to get us on (including James himself!)

We joined via zoom and decorated the kitchen with some easy access Christmas decorations – didn’t fancy routing through the loft for Christmas stuff in early November… Not only was I in shock at James Martin talking to me on my phone (loveliest man in the world as well), in steps the Michelin Star Chef, Great British Menu Winner and all-round gent of the cooking world… Richard Corrigan.

This caught me off guard to say the least, and again took me back when he proceeds to tell me they are some of the best macarons he has ever eaten…

All in all, it was a bit of a mad experience, but I’m so proud of being able to represent something I am passionate about, with such an esteemed audience.  Hopefully I didn’t make any blunders whilst talking and also didn’t use my hands too much – apparently when I get excited, I use my hands a lot to gesture… 

If you haven’t put an order in for our ‘Michelin star chef approved’ and ‘as seen on James Martin’s Saturday Morning’ macarons head to the online shop, or visit us at a Made in Shropshire Market!’
