I love Macarons

41OajmeA XL. SS500  I love Macarons

I picked up this sweet little recipe book last night, I Love Macarons. I do love macarons and their petite size and colors. A new book by Japanese pastry chef Hisako Ogita gives step-by-step instructions on how to make these adorable French treats. Each step is illustrated by a photo, making the process easy for beginner bakers. She includes a wide range of yummy filling options like raspberry, chocolate, and more exotic flavors like matcha. Maybe I should make pink ones with chocolate filling? So yum. The styling and photography is really cute. A great gift for a macaron loving friend. Buy it at amazon.com I love Macarons.

    I looooove macarons, but everytime I try to make them, I fail. Last time I used some of the modifications to Helen McSweeney’s (of Tartelette) recipe, here: http://audaxartifex.blogspot.com/2009/07/basic-french-meringue-macrons.html

    But I still failed, texture-wise :(

    The book does give lots of tips and pictures and what to do if your cookies don’t turn out.

    I’ll attempt a batch this weekend.

    I just bought it! Thanks! Jess introduced me to these when we were in Paris together and life has never been the same. My mom makes them whenever she comes out, we’ll probably be making some this weekend. I got my recipe from America’s Test Kitchen & Martha.
