It’s generally true in life that the more effort you put into something the greater the reward, and this is definitely true of macarons; very fiddly and time consuming to make but oh so tasty! This morning I’ve been playing around with different coloured shells and different filling ideas. The five fillings in the photo are blueberry, strawberry and chocolate, and then two boozy options of strawberry with pink champagne, and chocolate with cointreau (orange).
