I LOVE Macarons!!

I had never even heard of these delectable little delights a few weeks ago, but now I am so totally hooked!! How could you turn down something that looks like this? I know I couldn't. So I decided I would have to try my hand at making some, to see why everyone was raving about them, they are becoming like the new cupcake trend that hit Sydney a few years back, but they are no where near as simple to make as cupcakes. There is a real art and science to making macarons, or so I am told by macaron extraordinaire Duncan on his website Syrup and Tang.

It is essential to read through all of the instructions to really gather the enormity of the task of cooking macarons, however, if one isn't deterred by the temperamental tidbits then one will be greatly rewarded by the delicate outcome.

Little Oven from Etsy has mastered the art of macarons, with flavours including dark chocolate, pistachio, raspberry, green tea and caramel fleur de sel. Syrup and Tang by Duncan explores white chocolate and passionfruit, finger lime and chocolate and subtle cinnamon and dark chocolate. Those who know me will know the delight I take in the exotic variety of flavours that can be married to the light delicacies.
