Having just returned from Paris, France, I needed a macaron fix - and fast!!
Imagine my pure delight when I walked into Yann Haute Patisserie and saw all of those gorgeous coloured macarons! (note: these are French macarons, not to be confused with coconut macaroons)
There are other lovely decadent desserts and pastries, but I was only there for the macarons.
Of course, I chose 8 of my absolute favs - salted caramel, and then I was adventurous and tried some lavender ones, mint ones, and berry ones. I am delighted to report that the salted caramel were fantastic - sweet and chewy, and just a tad salty. My next favourite were the raspberry ones - OMG - yum!
I couldn't have been more pleased with the selection and quality of macarons that were available at Yann`s.
And make sure to let your macarons get to room temperature before eating them, then they will have a nice chew to them. If they are cool they might be crunchy - which isn`t how they taste best.
