All About Macarons

My 'How to Make Macarons' post is one of the earliest posts I wrote for Food Nouveau and its popularity has been growing ever since. I knew macarons were loved but I never thought a step-by-step post about this French delicacy would be my main traffic driver!

I created this page to gather everything I published about macarons. This finicky dessert can be done in a home kitchen, and you don't even have to be an expert cook. With method and patience, you'll go a long way. And with the following resources, you'll succeed!
