Macarons: 50 Exquisite Recipes, Shown in 200 Beautiful Photographs Hardcover – June 7, 2014

I bought as a gift and it was very well received. The book is large and all the photos and the cover are beautiful. Recipient is looking forward to trying all the recipes. It makes a lovely gift for anyone who lives macrons.

This book has standard and unique flavors and gives a lot a tips for the perfect macarons. The photos are mouth watering - makes you want to bake and eat!

It had a lot of pictures, it was for my daughter & she needs visuals

I love it! The colors are so beautiful. My only problem is I will have to weigh the ingredients instead of measuring. I am not accustomed to that, and will need to get a scale. Not a problem, I will manage.

I haven't baked anything out of this book yet but I did read the recipe which seem pretty easy. The problem is that every recipe requires egg white powder. I've never used egg white powder before I use normal regular egg whites. I've looked in to the powders and apparently they have different strengths which I wasn't aware of and now I have no idea which powder to buy. I'll update my review once I actually try these recipes.UPDATE:This book is not worth the money! Every recipe is basically the same recipe with just added drops of flavorings. So basically your paying $15 for one recipe. I'm very disappointed in this purchase such a waste of money.Also for people just starting you need more then 15mins resting time for these or they won't have that little crack at the bottom. Also baking time is longer our they will be raw.

Great book with lots of good information on how to make macrons

My daughter was going to make some the next day.

I've tried a few recipes from the book, I found the vanilla bean one to be far too sweet, the chocolate one needs more than ten minutes at that temperature, they were still raw in the middle. Most of them need more than ten minutes. I agree with the other reviewer, it's basically the same recipe over and over with minor adjustments to allow for cocoa or other powdered flavorings. I still think it's a good book, easy to follow, beautiful pictures (I'm all about pictures in my cookbooks) Don't fret over the egg white powder it's cheap to get in the baking sections of most grocery stores and it's worth it if you don't feel like taking the time to age your egg whites in the fridge.
