Great Book with Lots of Technique!,
This review is from: Petits Macarons: Colorful French Confections to Make at Home (Hardcover)
It's my first Macaron book, therefore I wasn't sure what to expect, but I am very happy with it. I highly recommend this book if you want to become a Macaron expert! There are lots of techniques as well as tips and tricks! There's so much to this book, I find myself reading it over and over and I always find learnings when I flip back. There's also a great troubleshooting section to help you improve your baking if your first batch didn't turn out quite nice. The only thing complain I have is not all recipes have a picture to it. I always like to know what the final product looks like before I start making it.

This review is from: Petits Macarons: Colorful French Confections to Make at Home (Hardcover)
I just received this book in the mail, after pre-ordering it prior to publication, and I am thrilled. I couldn't wait to try the recipes.I love macarons,and I have purchased several books on the subject, but this one is by far the best. Although it has several amazing recipes (such as the key lime with marshmallow fluff -- YUM!), it also offer endless variations on shells and fillings. Fillings include ice milks for frozen treats, jams and pate de fruit, ganache, and buttercream. Shells include variations in nuts, flavors, and colors -- even savory recipes such as a maple bacon bourbon filling. You are limited only by your own imagination in flavor combinations. And BONUS -- you get really wonderful recipes that are excellent all on their own for jams, ice milks, and buttercream. The troubleshooting chapter at the end of the book, complete with thumbnail visuals, is especially helpful. I spotted several of my own mistakes in this chapter, and I now have the guidance to correct them. If you have unsuccessfully tried to make macarons in the past, or if you are an experienced macaron maker, this book would be great for either the novice or the expert (and everyone in between). The directions are very detailed, the recipes are professionally written in language that is easy to follow, and the book is beautifully designed. I also love the fact that measurements are listed by both quantity and weight. The recipes range from simple combinations to complex presentations. I'm so glad I purchased it. 9 of 10 people found the following review helpful

This review is from: Petits Macarons: Colorful French Confections to Make at Home (Hardcover)
I pre-ordered this book back in July and have been anticipating its release. It arrived yesterday and I am so pleased. I own every macaron book available on Amazon and "Les Petits Macarons: Colorful French Confections to Make at Home" is, by far, the most informative. It is a beautiful hardbound book with gorgeous photos and fabulous recipes. It describes, in detail, the three different methods for making macarons (French, Italian, and Swiss) and also has an extensive "troubleshooting" section. Need to make macarons in a rush? There's even an "easy" recipe where you don't have to make a meringue! I love this book and am anxious to try out their wonderful recipes!
