I had a career going in advertising when one day I got the crazy idea to start over and become a pastry chef. Now I'll show you what I learned working in fine dining restaurants all over NYC right here with step-by-step photos. So grab your rolling pin and join in.
What kind of Pastry Bag do you suggest?? I have the Wilton tip set with the desposible bags and am looking for something that lasts longer. Thanks
I want to make the macaroons, which calls for almond flour. Someone in my family is allergic to nuts what can i substitute? Thanks
Nate — You can try seed flour, or chickpea flour, though I can’t say for sure they will work as well. The cookies will still probably taste pretty good, though!
I almost considered adding in regular food coloring drops, but read these in time!
also I read somewhere that you can also create beautiful forest green macarons by using green tea powder… And if anyone is allergic to almonds and nuts, might as well skip making these since that is the main component of the sweet.
