Excellent book, very well explained step by step, many pictures, a lot of recipes. Recommend.

c'est le livre idéal pour rélaiser les meilleurs macarons du monde, grace a des recettes claires et bien expliquées

I was so fortunate to be given this incredible book by my Daughter for Christmas 2008. She was also so kind and patient in the translation! (She is fluent in French and it took her four hours to translate the technique, the very beginning of the book.) Our quest to make these delicious cookies began after happening upon Laduree in Paris. First bite we were hooked. (Vanilla and Ispaham are our favorites.) The techniques are very detailed and will produce excellent results providing you use only the best ingredients and follow all of the instructions. Be warned! Mr. Herme recommends you let the egg whites rest for a week PRIOR to starting the recipe. I have never had to plan a week ahead to make anything, EXCEPT Macarons. Also, be sure to follow the recommendations when baking the cookies. They take about 2-4 hours to complete as long as you have no mistakes along the way, but well worth the time. I love this book! Thank you again Ellen!

If you love Macarons and do not enjoy baking, this book is for you as the photograghy alone is amazing.

If you love Macarons and enjoy baking, this book is for you.

This book is the next best thing to sitting in one of the Laduree Shops!

this is the book that i was looked for because pierre herme wroted this book so my curiousity to know is more...i order this book with amazon canada(i live in usa)...but the book shipped from japan so its took a little bit longer to delivery...also the price is more expensive its cost about 120 usd included shipping.this is the most expensive book that i bought in my life....
but i still want it..because there's a lot of thing in things in this book that i can use for and especially the writer (pierre herme) is the one that make the most delicious macarons in the world so that's why its worth for.....
and even i forgot how to speak french i also tried hard to translate the recipe in this book..i didn't try to bake some macaron from this book yet but from what i read the recipes in this book is helpful..i will try to bake these macaron as soon..
