Ah, the macaroons, two crunchy shells made from almonds, a fondant filling… the years go by, and they remain the undisputed stars of the little round cakes that we tear up and that we (try to) prepare. And from Ladurée to Hermé via Mercotte, there are as many recipes as pastry chefs.
Be daring, too; you’ll see it’s not that complicated to make them a success: as usual, the Chef’s macaroons recipe will be your best ally in this – little – adventure.
