Hi Karen, your creations are really awesome. And the macaroons so beautiful. Do you have a general recipe for making macaroons? There are so mnay recipes online, I’m not sure which is more reliable.

Hi Jacelyn, thank you! I’ve tried a couple of recipes and found this one to be quite reliable . You have to search for Ispahan in the article. The ingredients are listed on the next page. Happy baking!

Hi Karen,

How much sugar did you reduce from the recipe? I find macarons too sweet too, but am afraid they won’t hold their shape if I reduce the sugar too much.

Thanks!

Hi Karen,

wow your macarons are so gorgeous and are making me hungry!
for my wife’s baby shower, i have been trying to make some blue macarons without sucess. instead of being blue, they turn golden brown after coming out of the oven.
the recipe calls for the oven to be at 320, i lowered the temperature to 285 and they still come out tanned!

do you have any suggestions for me?

thank you!
