Macaron - The little french meringue and almond type biscuits that are sandwiched together with a buttercream, making a bit of a comeback of late.
Macaroon - Those coconut and condensed milk chewy things your nan would make (well mine did, and I think she would push a glace cherry in the top to finish!)
Although they were delicious, they were not as smooth as I would like. This is because I am lazy and didn't whizz up the ground almonds in a food processor. Most patisseries use almond flour and I think using this would be no fail - not sure where I can find that though!

I got it for Christmas from Conor and it's amazing - very precise recipes with step-by-step photos, and lots of ideas for flavours and variations.
A must have.

so glad you put these up here! They look amazing, I might just have to try to make them too!
Hannah, how funny, I ordered that book yesterday! I was ordering your Bourke St Bakery one and it came up as a recommendation!
Pep, I will be trying out new recipes and will be sure to put one up that works well x
