What are Macarons?
Macarons are a butter-creamed filled cookie sandwich that transport you to a cobbled street in Paris with one taste. They are magical, dainty, chic, stylish and delicious in equal measure.
History of Macarons
Macarons have a slightly unclear history, they are thought to have been brought to France around 1533 by Catherine di Medici and her pastry chefs. The medici family was one of the most powerful families in Europe and their name is synonymous with the fineries of the Italian Renaissance, so no surprise that they had exquisite tastes in pastries too!
They gained more notoriety in 1792 when two Carmelite nuns seeking asylum in Nancy during the French Revolution baked and sold macarons in order to support themselves (sounds familiar!). They were known as the ‘Macaron Sisters’.
