i thought it was macaroons?
ReplyDeleteI bought this lovely little book soon after it was published; though I have yet to make any attempt at baking my own macarons. It still makes me too nervous! Maybe once the weather is cool enough for my kitchen to be bearable with the oven on?
ReplyDeleteHey, I have this book, but have been a little scared to try them. I'm going to trust you!
ReplyDeleteI need that book! My one and only attempt at making these little delights resulted in completely flat disks, that although quite tasty, looking nothing like they should! I must try again.
ReplyDeleteThank goodness for the few local bakeries that handle the hard work of making these little airy puffs of flavor.
