So, I posted on my Facebook page what my next creation should be, because I was out of ideas. Correction, I had too many ideas on what to do next. The first comment was from a lovely lady who said to make macaroons.
I watched episodes on American Baker and Master Chief that had their contestants make macaroons. I thought that if chefs and bakers are tested in this culinary creation, I should try it out.
Now I have only tasted macaroons once, and they were made by my amazing cousin for a wedding present. She had stayed in France as a foreign exchange student, and she made them with her host family. I remember her saying to wait till our wedding night to open them and eat. Macaroons are a very special gift.
How did I do? Well, Gordon Ramsy said on Master Chief that every gram counts. The recipe I had was in grams, and I don't own a scale (maybe i should invest in one soon), so I used a converter on the internet at make approximations on how many cups to use. The converted recipe is on Wednesday's Recipes.
Ramsy might be right. They came out very tasty, but they were not as puffy as I have seen them.
However, for my first time making them, I must say I think I did a good job. (First time making homemade jam too).
My advice for this week, don't have the fear of never making something hold you back. When you fail, you learn more then if you succeed.
