I took a break from creating my new jack russell design and headed for the kitchen to bake Vanilla macarons. Armed with my new book by Jill Colonna "Mad About Macarons. I carefully and yes, digitally Jill, measured all the ingredients.
I followed the clear, concise instructions to the T and was thrilled with my first attempt. Can highly recommend this book to anyone who loves macarons . Why pay a fortune for these delectable treats if you can make them yourself. Here are some pics .

What a lovely surprise to see your lovely macarons today and seeing that they're your first go, they are fabulous. I say 4-5 days, so next time make them a day earlier. Great post and love all your pics.
ReplyDeleteLook after yourself - that car incident must have shaken you up. Good idea to calm down making macarons, since it's like a form of yoga. Take care,
Jill
