Sweet Macarons Video

Recette filmée : Macarons from ))) datafone on Vimeo.

Take a peek at the beauty of making a macaron.  I have made multiple batches in my kitchen and I am not an expert but it never looked like this video.  It was more like powdered sugar everywhere and a bit of problem solving.  Anyway,  don't watch this video if you are hungry.

Quick Macaron Book Look

  

Back in June I bought a cute macaron book or at least I thought I did.  Well, I did buy it but I didn't pay attention and I pre-ordered it.  Oops.  I just figured, "No big deal.  It will just get to me later in the year and it will most likely be a surprise because I will forget about it.".  And forget about it I did.  On egl today, someone posted about there being a new macaron book and it was the same one I pre-ordered.  I checked the tracking on Amazon and BOOM, it was waiting in the mailbox.

  I haven't really gotten a good sit down with it but it looks to be full of recipe, flavors, tips, and ideas.  It is small book, around 6x6 inches.  It is in full color with glossy pages.  There are loads of great pictures that show you the different flavors and different ways to decorate.  

  I have another macaron cook book and I am excited to see how they differ and what the ones from my new book taste like compared to the old book's.  Here are a few quick shot of the inside.  Once I make some I will have to take pictures of those and let you know how they came out.

 

Macarons!!!

  Once of my latest obsessions has been macarons and baking them.  I scoured the internet for recipes, pictures, and info.  One  day when I wasn't even looking for anything macaron related I stumbled upon what I think is a gem.  A beautiful and delicious gem.  Follow me on this journey, won't you?
  When I lived in Philly I did an internship at a shop called Omoi which specialized in Japanese import items and Japanese inspired goodies.  I used to love shopping at the little store that was filled with Cutie Magazines, blind box toys, Fruits books, tabi socks, and oodles of other irresistible kawaii fare.   Now that I am living back in Up State New York I regularly check out the Omoi blog  to see the latest items they get in stock and whatnot.  In my latest visit I discovered i ♥ macarons, By Hisako Ogita.

I Love Macarons

  I just about jumped out of my seat when I saw a cook book dedicated solely to macarons!  So, to Amazon I went and scooped that baby up.  You too can get this piece of awesome.  I just ordered it a day ago so it will probably make its way to me next week.  Once I have it in my hands I will give you girly girls a peek. 
 Speaking of giving things a peek, check out the Omoi blog and shop.  You will not be disappointed.
