Macarons

French macarons made simple - from detailed step-by-step recipes to expert tips and where to find the best in Paris.

Naturally gluten-free, macarons are perfect for using up leftover egg whites. If you’re wondering what to do with the yolks, try my collection of egg yolk recipes including classic French custard desserts like crème caramel.

I wrote the first macaron cookbook published in the UK in 2010, and after years of testing, I now share a confidence-building way to make them at home - with recipes that use less sugar for better flavour.
