Although Amy & I probably have fodder for many a paris related blog post, I felt that I had to start my series of blog posts with my favorite new food, the macaroon. My coworker had introduced me to the amazing French macaroon, which is nothing like the almond & coconut concoction that you might associate with this name. The French macaroon consists two light but chewy meringue cookies sandwiched around a flavored buttercream frosting. The middle layer can also consist of a jam-like filling in some cases. The two most famous macaroon makers are Laduree and Pierre Hermes and obviously I tried out both (as well as quite a few others!). The macaroons come in many delicious flavors including blackcurrent, pistachio, rose, salted butter caramel, and my personal favorite, passion fruit chocolate. I can't wait to try to make my own delicious creations. I will report back with recipes!
