Macaroons

“Macaroon” means different things to different people. To some, it’s a big ball of coconut, to others, a delicate, airy meringue, and sometimes made into a sandwich cookie filled with wondrous tastes. I prefer the straight coconut, but these others are darn good as well.

Where did they come from? And why are they all consider macaroons? This week, we look at the history and development of macaroons.

TTFN, Fred.
