We love school holidays – it means that Sarah has more time to potter around in the kitchen. This week she made some amazing vanilla macarons, coloured a delicate shade of pink. She used the basic macaron recipe from Zumbo, and then piped some vanilla buttercream between the macaron shells to sandwich them together.
The macarons tasted amazing and needless to say, they didn’t last long! This has been Sarah’s most successful batch of macarons to date. Adriano Zumbo’s recipe is a little different to the previous recipes she has used. This recipe uses the Italian meringue method – a sugar syrup at the right temperature is incorporated into the egg whites while they are being beaten. What we love about Zumbo is that it includes a basic recipe for the macaron shells and then there are 23 variations – including salted milk chocolate caramel, rice pudding, strawberry bubblegum, vegemite and many more. You can find Adriano Zumbo’s macaron recipe here.
Sadly school resumes next week so it may be a while before we are next eating macarons.
I love macarons.
Stefy
Oooh these macarons look good! have a happy weekend sweetie
Bee happy x
They look perfect Sarah, mmmm delicious.
Well Done Sarah! They look amazing. Thanks for the link to the recipe too!
Vegemite- surely not!!! Sarah’s vanilla ones look delicious!!!
Gorgeous (and delicious) looking!
They always look so pretty. I have never had a macaron. My dd is allergic to nuts and I never get or make anything she can’t have and I don’t generally eat away from home unless I’m with my kids or family. I wonder if there’s an alternate macaron. lol
ok just before I hit submit I decided to do a quick search and there are recipes for almond free macarons. I’ll have to try to make some.
Your pictures are always GORGEOUS! I’ve yet to try my hand at macarons but maybe with this recipe I might give it a go! Thanks for sharing 🙂
They look perfect! I have still to attempt them but may have to get my Zumbo book out again!
They are stunning! I had a macaron fail last week. Might have to try Zumbos recipe.
Beautiful macarons, and thank you for this information about this pastry chef that I never heard of in France … cheers !
