Macaroons

Since I now live in Paris, my first blog post just needs to be about macaroons!

So far I have tried a few different kinds, but my favourites come from Pierre Hermé. They taste absolutely amazing, especially the strawberry wasabi and the jasmin ones. Unfortunately when I took the photo, they were already in my belly...



The macaroons from Ladurée are also really good. Caramel with salted butter, no need to say more!



One question came to my mind... why do they always give you the macaroons in a little box? The little boxes are very pretty and also practical to store little things afterwards, but I did not really think they have a purpose to serve. Well, macaroons are very delicate and easily turn into mash... which I discovered today when I bought macaroons from Dalloyau in a plastic bag... they did not survive being dropped on the floor and bashed against in the metro...



Anyway, there was nothing wrong with the taste!

  1. Jippii! Nu får jag en ny blogg att läsa! :D
    Jag kände igen namnen på två av ställena och kom på att jag läst om dem här: http://miaohrn.wordpress.com/category/macarons (ganska långt ner på sidan finns ett Paris-inlägg).
