French Macarons for Beginners: Foolproof Recipes with 30 Shells and 30 Fillings Paperback – December 10, 2019

I finally had time to make macarons. This book was extremely helpful. I recommend it for anyone that wants to give making macarons a try. It's not just recipes but do's, don't's, and helpful tips. It gave me the confidence I needed to bake a successful macaron. I made these on my first try for a tea party. Look at those FEET! I made the Red Velvet with Cream Cheese Buttercream filling.

Love this book! I gotIt for some new recipes and it was totally worth it !!

Love this book. Has a ton of knowledge in it.

If you already have your macaron recipe working, maybe that's not the book for you. It brings nice tips and some recipes to give some flavor to the shells, but is quite the same recipe always. But they do work nice! I tried the banana shell, but filled with dulce de leche.

Bought this as I wanted to learn a reliable technique after many failed attempts this book really helped. Well written with great tutorial and recipes too.

I gave this book 5 stars because it really does have some great recipes and a lot of information it. My recommendation though for the buttercream recipes is to do one batch at a time. I recently made a recipe from this book and made 4 batches of a buttercream recipe. I measured every thing correctly and I felt like there was too much liquid in the mixing bowl. It was kind of just moving the butter mixture around and not forming like buttercream should. I found that I have to add more confectioners sugar to soak up the remaining liquids and to think up the butter mixture. So next time I make a buttercream from this book, I’m making one batch to see if I have the same problem.

My ten year old daughter and I bought this book to make macarons for the first time ever. We made the chocolate shells with a chocolate filling, and our first attempt was beautiful and delicious. While they were time consuming, the instructions were clear, and the intimidating project wasn’t difficult. I’m very happy I found this book.

They ended up being really good! This book is excellent
