chocolate macaron from trader joes
I have always had this fascination with French macarons and had the notion that they could only be made to taste/look great when made by a pastry chef (preferably from France). Therefore, I always bought them until I found this how to instruction from Here Comes the Sun. She offers a step by step guide accompanied by pictures (pictures always helps). And to my surprise, it actually looks simple and doable.
