Are you into macarons? I must admit, I ate my very first macaron on my birthday this year. I am a late bloomer in the macaron deparment. I think it’s partly due to the fact that macarons are the MUST-BITE treat of the moment. They are super fashionable and much hyped, aren’t they? I tend to stubbornly steer away from anything super popular like that. I think it’s partly because I don’t want to be let down (what if the thing is not as great as they hype suggests?!) and it’s probably partly because I don’t like to do the things everyone else is doing (so I will wait a year or two and then sneakily do it anyway. Doh!)

I’m a bit sorry that I rejected macarons for so long. When I finally did eat the ones that my Mum sent me for my birthday I was totally surprised at how delicious they were! I thought they would be dry and flavourless and sandy. They were moist and chewy and popping with deliciousness. Oh my.

I now need to make up for lost time. Maybe you do to? Or maybe you are sensible and have liked macarons all along. Whichever it is, here are eleven recipes to try. May your days be macaron filled, peeps!
