Macarons are probably one of the easiest things a person can fall in love with. The endless possibilities in shell and filling combinations is mind-blowing, and whatever combination in colour and flavour one chooses, the results will almost always be a guaranteed winner. I mean just look at how adorable these things are! Making macarons has evolved from being intimidating to something really fun to do.
Now I know this is only my third time making macarons, but it has been an incredible learning process. I think this is one of the things I love most about making these babies: I learn something new every single time. The difference in my understanding from my preparation to make it the first time, to the second time, and now this third try is immense. I made these macarons using my old oven, which has been sent over for repairs. As with my previous macarons, I still got lopsided shells, but this time I managed to get more even ones as well.
See here is the reason why I keep sticking to the recipe from the Les Petits Macarons cookbook: when the feet come out right, they are perfect as can be.
