| MY suggestion: go to http://www.tastespotting.com/ and do a search for macarons. This is a great website for food porn - pics and recipes. You will find lots of links to cooks' versions of this dessert confection. Many have detailed pics and instructions. |

| I have loved reading the link below. Now if I can just work up the courage to actually make the macarons! |

| After making them for the first time last year, I thought that really, they are not that hard. I read some online tutorialst and watched some youtube videos and then went ahead and made them. They turned out really well and I've since played with many flavor combinations. My favorite, so far, has been adding cinnamon to the macaron cookie dough and using a chocolate/espresso cream cheese filling. The link is the cookie recipe I use and gives very good direction |
