Macaroons from France

Green, blue, yellow, pink, brown...
The macaroons are eye-catching for everyone!
These little round pastries are offered in a huge assortments of colours and flavours.
However, the origin of macaroon is controversial, probably it is Italian or Arabian ancestry.

Basic ingredients are egg white, sugar and almonds. The macaron cookie was born in italy in 1533 and has the same origin as the word 'macaroni'. Both means "fine dough". 
It has become a 'double-decker' at the beginning of the 20th century, when the french man Pierre Desfontaines had the idea to fill them with a 'chocolat panache' and to stick them together.


Here is a nice video which shows how to make macaroons,
 just give it a try! :)
