Macaron- a popular French delicate cookie made of egg whites, sugar and ground almond.
For clarity, I have drawn a diagram to illustrate the two terms that I will use to refer the parts of the macaron in the contents below.
Ever since the day my kindhearted friend brought me macarons of flavors I specified from a patisserie in Paris that I directed her to visit, traces of these sinfully delicious treats have lingered in my palate. Macaron Day (macarondaynyc.com), an event in which many prominent bakeries located in NYC give their customers complimentary macarons for free, was an opportunity too incredible to pass on for me to rediscover this impeccable taste that has been haunting me in my dreams.
