step by step pictures, umpteen flavours of macaroon and then lots of different fillings, pretty pictures...oh so much to love! I have fond memories of eating these in paris when retro daddy was working there for a few years....I'd stock up on them for the eurostar trip home back to london! Oh so sweet and light and delicious!!!! I think this will be my mothers day gift to myself!
EDITED TO ADD on my morning shop I found the AWW book on macaroons and cookies...not nearly as many recipes but I find AWW recipes foolproof so it came home with me!

Looks like you and I both have a touch of insomnia!
Happy Macaroon mother;s day Corrie, they do look scrumptious !x
I'm a fan of macaroons too - so pretty, and delicious! Yesterday I bought a AWW A4 size book of biscuits and macaroons from Woolies, and they have a buy-one-get-one-free deal this week :)
They say that macarons are going to be he 'new cupcake'. I don't think so but they are cute! A bit fiddly to make, but addictive once you do master it!
Looks like a great book...but at 4.30am???
I do like to be in bed at 4.38am but the babies decided to both wake up at 4am for playtime! and blogging sure beats dora!
Better go and get this today Corrie. It is so sad when you fall in love with a boo then come back to buy it some time later and it is gone.
The front cover is so pretty.
Oh no another book that I may just 'have' to have! Looks divine!
I saw a similar book in my newsagent yesterday, picked it up and put it down again. I think I might just have to go back and grab it. Yum!
I love the look of macaroons...now I have to go & try some!!!

Oooh, you'll have to report on your new book and let us know if you find any great recipes. I thought I read a not-so-great review of the book that you've pictured -- I wish I could remember where it was! Happy Baking!
As a designer this is a lovely book cover. Good enough to eat.

I just tried these for the first time at Flemington Market a few weeks ago..so yummy.
I was browsing in the cook book section at Borders and there were so many books I couldn't decide which one I wanted.
The AWW book came home with from the supermarket the other day too!
We tried the chocolate ones ~ let's just say we need some practice :)
macarons are well worth perfecting - so yummy! Have fun!
I bought the AWW book and tried the raspberry ones. I think I did something wrong because they were a disaster. I might need the step by step pictures in the other book! If you make them and they are a success please let me know you're secret. Enjoy :)
Looks yummy, pity I don't bake! We call those ones macarons, and there's a little coconut cake thing we call a macaroon.
But that might just be us!
Mmm macarons! So hard to make yet so tasty! I love the tart flavours like lemon and passionfruit to balance out the sweetness although I don't think I've ever refused one lol :P
YUM!
Snap! I bought the AWW book of Macaroons on Saturday too. Not sure when I'll find the time to try them. Brownies on the menu tomorrow for bookgroup. Your recipe of course. I can't tell you how many friends of mine are now cooking frequent batches.
Ahhh,macaroons, my arch nemesis. Seriously. Have tried making them six times and every time they're an absolute disaster. I don't 'do' disasters in the kitchen well.
