For The Love of Macarons

 

MACARON OR MACAROON

Macarons are not to be confused with macaroons. Macaroons are small and slapdash coconut haystacks, and are often dipped in chocolate.

Macarons are elegant little sandwiches that are made with meringue, almond flour and filling.
Colorful, pillowy and delicately flavored, macarons are perhaps one of the most famous and treasured French desserts.
This meringue-based sweet comes in many colours and flavours. 

A Little History...

 

The word macaron is derived from the Italian word, maccherone, meaning fine dough. It’s believed that the macaron cookie was born in Italy and brought  over to France as early as 1533 by Catherine di Medici ),  a noblewoman from Florence who married the future King of France, Henri  II. The first macarons were very simple cookies made of sugar, almond  flour and egg whites.

Two Carmelite nuns in Nancy, a town in north-eastern France, baked  and sold macarons during the French Revolution in 1792 to support  themselves. However, their macarons were a little different from ours,  because they had no filling.

Over time, different regions in France adopted the recipe but the  macaron as we know it today didn’t come about until the 1890s, at the  Parisian confectioner La Maison Ladurée. Pierre Desfontaines, second  cousin to the founder of La Maison Ladurée, began sandwiching  buttercream, jam, ganache and compote between cookies. Ladurée remains  one of the most popular spots for macarons in Paris and around the  world!

National Macaron Day, March 20

Was founded in 2005 at La Maison Pierre Hermé , another Parisian confectioner with locations throughout the world.


Today macaron is the most popular cookie in France, particularly in Paris. It also becomes a trendy pastry around the globe with so many  variations in different shapes, sizes, colours, flavors, and filling  choices.

Anatomy of a Perfect Macaron

FOOT – a proportional, narrow foot around the shell


CHEWY CENTRE – an interior that is soft, moist, and only slightly chewy
