i used to love foie gras. but just thinking how the ducks were forced feed- I cant enjoy eating foie gras anymore- nor enjoying eating sharks fin soup. recently- the news showed a whale without fins- it just sucks.

Hi Julia – I used the French Meringue method here.
Hi Renuka – Ah the Ispahan, I will try it soon. I’ve actually offered the rose-litchi combination and I love it.

Those macarons are absolutely gorgeous. Much better looking and sounding than the terrible “White Truffle Oil” Macarons I recently tried at a place that shall not be named…

Veron, FANTASTIC. Your macarons are just perfect. Which method did you use for the shells in this post? Which do you prefer? Must watch your video. Great idea. I have never thought about making a macaron with a savoury filling, though I do have a book which I bought in France which is split between sweet and savoury. You’ve inspired me to try something now!

Wow..those look delicious. Congrats Veron. I would like to make them some day but first I need to get them right.
Could you help with some issues I’m having?
I have tried the italian meringue vanilla macarons. The shells are ok on the outside, with feet but air pockets inside.
I tried french meringue chocolate macarons but the shells turned out too moist almost wet, fragile and the feet extend sideways. Good news no air pockets.
Thanks soooo much!!!

You are so brave to forge ahead, Veron. Now me, well, I’m more of a stargazer than a solider. They look delectably “fine.” Thank you so much for sharing…
