Over 30 years ago, Jill was totally immersed into the real-deal French life and culture by following her heart to Paris from Scotland. Marrying a Frenchman, working for 10 years in Paris, then raising their 2 French/ girls just outside Paris, food has gradually become a central part of her family’s healthy French lifestyle.
During this time, she perfected the art of making macarons and wrote 2 patisserie recipe books that were published in 2012 and 2015, 'Teatime in Paris’ and the bestselling ‘Mad About Macarons’, the name of the eponymous website.
The website is where she shares the recipes she has learned from the French over the many deliciously fun years. Not just recipes but also French food guides, following her time as pastry tour guide in Paris, via many travels within France with and visiting family, plus passionate about eating well with seasonal fresh fruit and veg from the market.
