4.0 out of 5 stars
One recipe, lots of variations,
By Simon Dean (Hants, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Macarons (Hardcover)
This little book has one basic macaron recipe at the beginning, well described and illustrated with photographs of every step. The rest of the book gives ideas for various flavourings, fillings and colourings and shows a photo of each type. The basic recipe works well and is easy to follow, although getting just the perfect light and fluffy yet chewy-in-the-middle texture of a true French macaron could take years of practice. There are undoubtedly more comprehensive (and more expensive) books on the subject, but it's not a bad introduction and bearing in mind the low price it gets 4 stars.

Not impress,
This review is from: Macarons (Hardcover)
Brought the book expecting it to be great. But it was a great disappointment. The Macarons did not turn out very well. The fillings were absolutely awful, the lemon filling didn't resemble anything to lemon curd or cream. I do not recommend this book at all

One-trick Pony,
By Penthesilea (London, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Macarons (Hardcover)
This book has pretty photographs, looks good, but is unfortunately quite thin in content: the macaroons all share the same basic recipe. The only variation in colour is by food colouring, which seems rather unimaginative. The technical terms have not been adapted for the UK market, so you have to guess what the sugar type in your recipe might be in translation. A simple inlay could have solved this problem easily. Macaroons come in all sorts of shapes and ingredients, not just the lately fashionable form on the title page. I would have really appreciated more variation.
