Macarons Cookbook

Pierre hermé is universally acknowledged as the king of french pastry with shops in Tokyo, Paris and London. Macarons are the aristocrats of pastry; these brightly colored, mini meringues, daintily sandwiched together with gooey fillings, have become a holy grail for cookery fanatics and there are even food blogs dedicated to them. Now for the first time, all the macaron recipes from this most celebrated french pâtissier are published in english. And just like pierre hermé’s famous macarons, it would be difficult for any macaron book to surpass this one.

There are 200 pages of recipes and beautiful food photography, and because making macarons is mostly about technique, rather than just a standard recipe, readers will appreciate the 32-step-by-step photo-illustrated instructions for making shells and fillings.
