This book is great. I hear people comment that why does the recipes say to leave a small amount of the egg in but not stir and that it must be a typo.it's not a typo. There's a reason for this.
When you leave a small portion of the whites unbeaten even to the paste portion (Italian or French methods) the final product gives more of a glossy shine on the cookie which is one of it's famous characteristics. So if you want to learn Macarons than learn from the best.
The pictures are beautiful full page pictures of the final product.
The recipes are clear and easy. Macarons are a tough cookie for any first timers. I did two classes before I understood the cookie and the two methods Italian and French methods. This books uses both. The choclate is French and others are Italian.
Ifyou follow exactly the recipes they are great results. If you want the traditional Macarons this book is great,ifyou want some fancier more adventurous ones than its is it as well. The only bad comment i have is that there's a section of the more adventurous Macarons with some ingredients I d t know to much about and I am advance baker, not 2 year qualified but I know pastry well.
It's a stunning book and a must for anyone who loves the chef or the Macarons. It's a wonderful gift or a wonderful recipe book.
If you've never baked before or not good sit I would not recommend it since the Macarons is a cookie that you have to know the stages it goes through similar to bread, you can trust bake there's how do you know when it's ready. Still a great book. Also I would recommend it to any food photographers or stylists on knowing that's considered latest. These pictures are stunning simple.
I've tied 3 recipes and followed them directly with successful results over and over with the same three.

) in love with all recipes
big success on the very first batch. And 3 more after that :) in love with all recipes. even most of them are expensive and kinda hard to find in regular store, little twist ingredient still gave me a lot of strong build and lovely looking macarons. and finally, i found macarons shell recipe that is not too sweet. it just right to satisfy your sweet tooth, and you absolutely can taste all the flavor even nutty taste from the shell. i love it.
