📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Macarons came to France from Italy and evolved into their own form in Paris. A meringue batter of almond flour, egg whites, and sugar is piped into rounds and baked so the characteristic ruffled 'feet' form. Sandwiched with buttercream or ganache, their pastel colors have made them a world-famous French luxury sweet.

🌆 Where it's eaten: Paris pastry shop windows are lined with colorful macarons, and people buy them by the box as gifts.
