What Do You Know About French Food?

Lobster's egg and brain taste even better than the meat itself.
Some people think it's gross especially the brain.
Nevertheless, Bluebird loved it.:p
So that's where you got your intelligence from, lobster brains, Haha. Jk.
Come back to the shoutbox man. Don't hide from me. bluebird.
Stop drinking and playing cards in Tacoma, dear. :roflmao:

Loves too, Hunnie. If you are living nearby; Bluebird will certainly take you to the lobster feast.
Instead, just close your eyes and conjure up the pictures how yummy they are.:p

lolz, yes, I need to eat more lobster. I know I can count on your judgment in taste. :)

Bluebird is ignoring me. :mad:
Because I said, She has lobster brain.
But it was a joke, apparently, a bad joke.
Bluebird, you're awesome.
You have superior language skills.
Trait of an educated woman, :D.

Here the description, i translate it in english, hope you can understand it :)

Start by mixing the powdered sugar with the almond powder in a blender. Strain (need the powder is as fine as possible, remove the impurities).
Beat the egg white and add 10 g of sugar, and the dye gradually, mixing until egg whites are well fixed.
Add the icing sugar + almond powder egg white and mix gently with a spatula to "break" a little white.
Put the dough in a macaron pastry bag and make little piles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Let stand for 15 minutes macaroons.
Put the plate of macaroons on an already hot plates in the oven for 10 min at 140-150 ° C (gas mark 4-5) convection and door ajar.
Once cooked, remove the baking sheet from the oven, and pour a little water under the parchment paper. This will produce steam that can well take off the macaroons.
It only remains to cram with ganache of your choice! For example, white or chocolate buttercream.

I know they have different macaroons. My sister loves the ones with different colors. It looks like a cookie with cream in the middle. They are kind of chewy and really expensive. I think for 1 macaroon she said it was almost $2 each.

Is food coloring paste the same as normal liquid food coloring? I'm surprised to see there is no flour in the recipe just powder. How many does this make? Thanks

I buy those macarons from Beverley Hill. It comes in different flavors depending on their specials for that day. It's tastes okay for me. My boyfriend's family loves them for some reason so I would buy it as gifts for them occasionally. They do look cute though, so for gifts it does looks perfect for sweet lovers.

I don't think it would taste the same. I just like to get it from the professional bakery, and let myself enjoy the moment in heaven

Yes it is the same, you can use basic coloring liquid
With that recipe you can make about 4 or 5 macarons
