However being in a small workroom with one small window looking out onto a courtyard/carpark just isn't the same as a pale lavender coloured one that smells of seagrass with a view on the same level as the swallows.In the mean time I have become slightly obsessed with trying to make Macarons. it's well worth salivating over the pictures and descriptions of the flavours at Laduree
I made my first attempt today with a pale pink variety. Sifting...
Piping...
and cooking. They worked out just OK...a bit soft in the middle though.
Now I've purchased a silicon baking mat and some coloured paste instead of liquid food dye. I'm raring to go on the next batch.
Which will be pistachio flavoured.
Who knows, I may even get them to look like this...

Oh my goodness (tell that to Zeb!)
Loved your blogs about France...it all looked so calm and beautiful and a world away from somewhere like London :) Love the new cushion and do admire your sewing skills :) and cooking skills too. I wouldn't even dream of attempting those macaroons but they look amazing, especially in those colours. So damn French...grrrr ...you just want to hate them for all their innate style :)
Oooh thanks Gina. It was calm and beautiful until I had a deadline to finish and then it's the same no matter where you are in the world. (I just make it look calm on the blog to impress) xx
