I've always loved eating macarons, but was completely shit-brick terrified of making them. That is until i received a lovely little book called 'I Love Macarons'. I don't know what it was about the book, be it the cute smiling face of the author or the step by step photo instructions that should lead you to making the perfect macaron.
To the untrained professional, macarons are two little shells made from egg whites, sugar and ground almonds with some sort of filling sandwiched between. Yes that's three ingredients to make one of the most 'difficult to perfect' recipes I've ever encountered. I tried my hand at making them myself. But failure after repeat failure proved that no smiling Japanese chef was going to help me through the pages of a book. I then turned to the twitterverse, with season mac aficionados offering help. Great as it was I felt reluctant to crack another egg for fear of failure. As with most insurmountable issue like this I decided to seek the professionals help.
