I.e. macaron vs macaroon. Dear God I am a complete moron. But what this means is that I have never had a macaron. These cookies are totally new to me.

I'm a decent baker, but with REAL chefs around, I much prefer being one of the eaters! No reason to waste a yummy macaroon, I say. I'll also say that I hadn't realized macaroons were so complicated. The only ones I've seen are lumps of coconut with some kind of glaze. You've opened my eyes to an entirely different world of yum.<br /><br />Cheers<br />The Blue Morpho<br />www.anxietyland.blogspot.comThe Blue Morphohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16387317327488568515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3046190876331796690.post-57516446906444239212009-10-27T07:10:04.474-07:002009-10-27T07:10:04.474-07:00Thank you all for your nice comments and, in sever...Thank you all for your nice comments and, in several cases, commiseration! It is all about having a go...and the taste is all that matters.<br /><br />Cat, if you make them again, definitely let me know. I'll cheer your success loudly!<br /><br />Audax, the macarons at La Renaissance are very yummy. The day I was there they were out of the salted caramel variety...those sound so delicious I think it warrants another trip down under!<br /><br />Rochelle, though I would like to take credit for the green macaron, that one was baked by La Renaissance Patisserie and Cafe in Sydney...not by me! I think it will take me years before I get that good (if ever). :)Diannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11536755504773646702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3046190876331796690.post-3958892375300328452009-10-27T07:03:22.819-07:002009-10-27T07:03:22.819-07:00Your green ones looks perfect!Your green ones looks perfect!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09070583800403011942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3046190876331796690.post-32467894981763117692009-10-27T06:22:53.360-07:002009-10-27T06:22:53.360-07:00I'm so glad you posted this; I feel much less ...I'm so glad you posted this; I feel much less alone, haha!

At least you are familiar with the process of making macarons. I think that part is just as exciting. When I saw that you used saffron, my mouth dropped. I would have waited until a successful batch before using that expensive stuff haha. But I'm cheap like that...or er...frugal. ;) <br /><br />Anyway, the flavors sound super interesting. I love the idea of adding lime zest. YUM!Memóriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05445694569829238462noreply@blogger.com
