This post is for the MACARON-obsessed.
Others need not apply.
If you google the word MACARONS you get 893,000 entries here.

Fauchon MACARONS come wrapped tightly first in a clear cellophane bag and placed inside the box - so they never get damaged until you eat them... These towering macs were in Fauchon's Paris windows.

La Tartine Gourmande has another beautiful MACARON post. The MACARONS here are at Ladurée.

For general vicarious wasting of time while dreaming of all things Paris, MACARONS included, try Dessert First's photos on flickr. You can buy this tea set at Lenôtre and have macs every single day.

Or you could go off to Pierre Hermé's pâtisserie school to follow your bliss.

Even Wikipedia is obsessed with MACARONS...

Jean-Paul Hévin won again in the chocolate categorie. Ridiculous? No obsédée.


Fauchon 3 Macarons, 2006, watercolor,10" x 12"
my translation of Hermé's MACARON - "Une fine envelope croustillante, une forme rounde, légèrement bombée, de belle couleurs chatoyantes et un coeur moelleux..." - Chatoyante means that they caress, chatouille, that is to tickle the eye with their colours...Coeur moelleux means the center (le coeur, le coeur de la planete for example) Au cœur de ce projet, at the center of this project…
With all this MACARON research I'm almost over my obsession.

BONJOUR MACARON OBSESSION!
