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

Good book with easy recipes. Really helps you to make a good cookie. Lots of great options for different cookies.

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 !!

I've tried many different macaron recipes and even took a class on it using Italian meringue, which is much more time consuming. I'm finally whipping out different macarons pretty quickly. I even made some while waiting for dinner to cook. It is worth watching videos on the mackinage process, but this book does a fantastic job describing it.My only critique is that the buttercream recipes seem to have too much liquid and cruel easily. I've made a ton of buttercream and it just doesn't look right. I love the pairing recommendations, but I've begun to pull buttercream recipes from other sources.

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

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.

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.

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.
