Macarons: Chic and delicious French treats Hardcover – August 11, 2016

I bought this book because the pictures were so enticing. I love to bake and I thought I'd try my hand at macaron making. This book is just lovely! It inspires me every time I look at it. I bought one for my friend's birthday as well and she loves it! Now we exchange stories about how our respective batches of macarons turned out. So far, I can't say I've perfected the art, but I am working on it. I felt like the only problem with the recipes is that everything tasted a little too sweet to me. I tried cutting down the sugar in the basic macaron, but it seemed to affect more than just the taste, so I won't do that again. Cutting down the sugar in the fillings was not a problem, however. I would highly recommend this book!

I have been making macarons for a few years now and was looking for some new recipes and my friend suggested this book. I love it! The pictures and directions are wonderful. I actually loved it so much I bought one for a friend as part of her wedding shower presents!

Really fun book! They came out wonderfully!!

I prefer the italian meringue, but the flavor combos in this book are really good.

Great book, is an excellent learning source. I am new in the macaroon making and they turn out perfect. The picture are just beautifull and the ingredients are easy to find.

Havent used it yet but there are lots of pictures which i love and im excited to try it out, the book was brand new too.

Fun cookbook!

What a disappointment this book is!! I will be returning it!! I had made macarons three times before I bought this book: two turned out well, one was a melted disaster!! But even the ones that turned out WELL were not great. I was hoping to get a bunch of tips and troubleshooting info on how to make these perfectly every time. This book only has two pages of instruction! And doesn't even mention the most important thing which has to do with how humid the air is when you make them!! The flavor combinations seem good and the photos are amazing so if you are already an expert on macarons you might like this. But otherwise save your money. I haven't found one yet to replace it but I will be looking. In the meantime I have found better recipes on the web and a couple good videos on YouTube although the best one is actually in French. But you can learn a lot just by watching without understanding the words.

I like the recipes in it. It gives you a variety of different idea’s for fillings

lovely little non complicated book on making macarons try it it is easy. i love macarons now i can't stop making them

The book is well laid out, with lots of idea's on several different flavouringsthere are a few specialty ones in the back...I am still trying to find the recipe for Japonaise meringues. we used to buy thesefrom Fullers coffee house in Plymouth, in the 1960's they were a cross betweenmacaroons and macarons flavoured with coffee and had chopped nuts onthe outside . They were called Jap cakes .. If anyone knows where I can getthe recipe I would be eternally grateful !

I've made two of the recipes so far, and they have both tasted awesome. Macarons are a little tricky, but this book makes it relatively easy to follow.

I bought this book for my sisters birthday present because she likes cooking. INside the book there are lots of different recipe sections: fruit and flowers, chocolate, nuts and so on. The recipes are really well laid out and easy to read and use. I ordered it with the book people for £5.80 and it came within 2 days. I am really pleased with my purchase.
