It’s not the most intuitive read & you need to mark several pages for one recipe (if you’re a beginner) but I made perfect macarons after the first go with this book. And I can’t wait to make more

If you have tried and failed at making macaroons, this is the book for you!
I gave up trying to make them after around 6 months of trying various recipes. Found this book in the library a few years ago, followed the recipe exactly and it worked!
The front part of the book is extremely helpful at breaking down exactly what macarons are made of by going through each ingredient and the proper techniques used to make sure your macarons turn out perfectly.
I’ve cooked nearly all the macaron recipes and they’re all beautiful, I’m extremely pleased I found this book and couldn’t recommend it highly enough :)

I’ve recently gotten into making macarons (due to them being gluten free and because I studied french for 3 years), but I have been hesitant to branch out on flavours, colours, and fillings for fear of messing up. This little book is cute and informative. Also, macarons are naturally photogenic, so who wouldn’t love to make the perfect macaron? I know half the reason I make them is so I can photograph them. 🤷🏼♀️

I somehow made a gorgeous batter, nice little rounds on the plate, but after more than an hour they still did not get a little crust. Put one batch in after 30min, one after an hour and one after almost 1h30, so it must have been the batter somehow... at least I managed to serve something so for a first time I still call it a win...

Good reference for Macarons made using Italian Meringue
Great recipes, but almost entirely (like all but 3) require you to make Italian meringue. If you are familiar with making French macarons, you can probably modify the recipes.

I love this book. Following Jose Marechal's recipes, I've been able to make my own macarons - and that feeling is immensely satisfying! Also, the Salted-Butter Caramel recipe is perfect and delicious. DELICIOUS. Highly recommended.

If you want to learn how to make macarons, then I can't recommend a more informative book. I've read many books on macarons, and this is the one that turned my macarons from okay to great.
