Meet Molly Wilkinson, a Texan who has transferred her baking business online, teaching people all over the world how to make French pastries.
We met in the Champ de Mars park by the Eiffel Tower to talk about French pastries, how to spot a good boulangerie in Paris, and how to avoid a bad one!
We even talk about one one of the best bakeries in Paris, life in a chambre de bonne in the 2nd arrondissement, and her new book French Pastry Made Simple.
Listen below to this week’s episode (and remember to follow for more fun Paris episodes every Monday).

What a fun interview you did with Molly! I am hooked on her classes. She’s smart, fun and makes everything look so easy. The Mille Feuille is fabulous! You’ll love it. You’d love the chocolate caramel tarts, the tarte citron and her palmiers. And oh her meringue class is great. Give her a try … you’ll be hooked too!
Superb conversation!! Loved it all: the park setting, good humor, the spilled coffee, Molly (I’ve been one of her delighted students since November 2020), your interview style. Well done!!
I have taken five classes with Molly in the last 3 months — clearly I am hooked! She’s a great teacher, and has allowed me to learn daunting techniques and recipes that I wouldn’t have tried on my own. She is so generous with her time and talent, and lots of fun to spend time with. Thanks for the great interview!
