Review: Learn from the best - This book is great. I hear people comment that why does the recipes say to leave a small amount of the egg in but not stir and that it must be a typo.it's not a typo. There's a reason for this. When you leave a small portion of the whites unbeaten even to the paste portion (Italian or French methods) the final product gives more of a glossy shine on the cookie which is one of it's famous characteristics. So if you want to learn Macarons than learn from the best. The pictures are beautiful full page pictures of the final product. The recipes are clear and easy. Macarons are a tough cookie for any first timers. I did two classes before I understood the cookie and the two methods Italian and French methods. This books uses both. The choclate is French and others are Italian. Ifyou follow exactly the recipes they are great results. If you want the traditional Macarons this book is great,ifyou want some fancier more adventurous ones than its is it as well. The only bad comment i have is that there's a section of the more adventurous Macarons with some ingredients I d t know to much about and I am advance baker, not 2 year qualified but I know pastry well. It's a stunning book and a must for anyone who loves the chef or the Macarons. It's a wonderful gift or a wonderful recipe book. If you've never baked before or not good sit I would not recommend it since the Macarons is a cookie that you have to know the stages it goes through similar to bread, you can trust bake there's how do you know when it's ready. Still a great book. Also I would recommend it to any food photographers or stylists on knowing that's considered latest. These pictures are stunning simple. I've tied 3 recipes and followed them directly with successful results over and over with the same three.
Review: Even if you don't bake this is a beautiful book - but I bake! - The technique is spelled out in great detail and my results have been fantastic. Most recipes I've seen elsewhere are just too sweet and these are not. The people I work with like this book very much! I've made the Eden (really turned out beautiful!), the intense chocolate w/ the nibs, and pistachio. I intend to give macarons for Christmas this year so practice, practice, practice. The President of the company I work for told me she gets Pierre's macarons when she is in France and that I nailed the chocolate so that's something. I've been using Callebaut though and Lindt for the 100%. I'm not sweating the authenticity - go with what you got. Also colors I already have a huge supply of gels so that's what I use. Fun Fun Fun!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Recipes, Great Book
*by N***. on May 29, 2019*

I really loved this book, the recipes are awesome and have worked well (the recipes I have made anyway). The instructions are thorough and have some fun flavors. Earl Grey & Milk Chocolate Macarons and Azur Macarons (chocolate & yuzu combo) are so yummy! It's not very beginner-friendly. Some of the techniques, recommended ingredients and utensils are more advanced on many if not all of the recipes and do require prior knowledge/experience. I purchased this as an ebook and no longer have my kindle so was reading it using the kindle app. Unfortunately, at least for the iphone 8S Plus, it doesn't work very well. The sentences are laid on top of each other on almost every page. This is why I gave a 4 star review vs 5. So, I highly suggest only purchasing if you have a kindle or don't mind bringing your computer into your kitchen.
