About me: I am a freelance food writer, recipe developer and photographer. Food is my passion - baking, cooking, developing recipes, making recipes healthier, using fresh seasonal produce and local products, keeping a check on my carbon footprint and being a responsible foodie! I enjoy food styling, food photography, recipe development and product reviews. I express this through my food photographs which I style and the recipes I blog. My strength lies in 'Doing Food From Scratch'; it must taste as good as it looks, and be healthy too. Baking in India, often my biggest challenge is the non-availability of baking ingredients, and this has now become a platform to get creative on. I enjoy cooking immensely as well.

    Deeba…Love the determination you have about Macs… I would have given up long back…

    1 failed cake due to an oven conking off had me in tears….Football is an incredible game… So make Football Cake for MAN-U Fan, Karan

    The macs look lovely and the green goes so well with your theme..
    You can throw the failed macs in my direction aswell… would love to savour them, feet or no feet 🙂

    You're really an inspiration…..

    Cheers to many more Macs,

    Didnt have time to participate in the event, but ur macs look fab! You said it failed. Still, I'm sure it looked good and tasted even better. Love matcha!

  • Aparna

    Ok, I don't think I can sit any longer after seein all this. I'll be there next month, and that's apromise I'll keep! 🙂

    By the way, if it'll make Man Friday happier, I'll send you some of my failures, shall I? ;-D

  • Happy Cook

    I tried with Macha and it failed so i didn't make them again.
    Hats off to you for trying and atleast you posted them. I love the painitn you have done on the shells.

  • marv woodhouse

    I have never tasted matcha does it taste like tea?

    I love the idea of griding mac into the filling, it must be very rich! …rather like a double chocolate muffin … have you invented the "double mac" mac ?!

  • Jamie

    From the Mac Queen to the Perseverance Queen: your macs, feetless or footed are always beautiful! So sorry about no happy feet but you always find the most intriguing flavors and the most beautiful decoration. So glad you decided to post these beauties! Love you, hon!

  • Bellini Valli

    I would have given up on macarons on my first attempt Deeba so I just continue to admire all your gorgeous creations. Happy Earth Day!

  • ButterYum

    Absolutely lovely. I need to give these little guys a try sometime (I keep saying that).

    What a clever spot of recycling Deeba! The colours are gorgeous even if they weren't quite what you were after. I think they look very cute. Welldone, I always admire your perseverance.

  • bunkycooks

    The pictures and the macarons are so pretty! I love the greens to go with your theme! I wish I could take on another challenge (the macs!), but am afraid I would go totally insane!

  • Asha @ FSK

    Deeba, your determination is inspiring.. I have no takers (not even Man Friday) for even properly done Macs (hub got too sick of my experiments and has firmed banned it..lol)

    Love the green hues.. so earthy and perfect!

  • Lazaro Cooks!

    Great well-written post. Seems like we're kindred spirits. As both our blog are eco-friendly. Have a wonderful day.

  • El

    Beautiful macarons. I've never tried matcha but hope to soon. I didn't know about Mactweets and was thrilled that you shared the info for me to bookmark. Thanks!

  • Kitchen Butterfly

    OMW – you milled the macs and used them in cream??????????? Amazing!!!!!!!! Superb, well done. I love Matcha too for the same reasons – the colour, the vibrant colour. The feet will come Deeba, maybe its the heat?????

  • Gera @ SweetsFoodsBlog

    Macarons and matcha a delicious idea with gorgeous photos as always Deeba!

    All the best,

    Gera

  • Jo

    Gorgeous pictures and the macarons look scrumptious. I have to give matcha flavour a try soon.

  • Barbara Bakes

    How frustrating to have feet one month and then the next month nothing but frustration. I love that your man Friday likes to take the no-feet macs home. They really do taste delicious with feet or no feet.

    Once again your post is stunningly beautiful with or without perfect feet!

  • Chocoparis

    What a wonderful theme you chose to create these beautiful macarons. The colours and photographs are exquisite!

  • Lorraine @NotQuiteNigella

    Hehe it may sound weird in and of itself but "Phwaor Deeba, nice feet! 😉 ". Gorgeous and so, so appropriate for Earth Day darling! 😀

  • Sreelu

    Deeba, first time at your blog, blown away by your recipes and photographs. Macaroons look so apt for earthday !!

  • Mardi @eatlivetravelwrite

    Haha I am laughing at Lorraine's "Phwoar" (such an Aussie expression!!) but she's right – nice feet after all that and a GREAT use for the failed macs – must remember that next time!!! I love how supportive MacTweets has been for me and you know, just when you think you can't attempt any more and have them fail, someone will tweet and say "how are the feet Mardi" and off I will go to try all over again! Thanks for being one of my inspirations in the kitchen! xoxo

  • Joanne

    I would probably be the worst macaron baker because I'm of the camp that says, if it tastes good then who cares how it looks! And these sound like they taste amazing, even if they don't quite have the feet that you were going for.

  • Rambling Tart

    Wow, Deeba! You deserve a medal for sticking with it through EIGHT batches! You're amazing. 🙂 I LOVE the color of the tea! So vivid and bright! 🙂

  • lisaiscooking

    I love the color from the matcha! You picked a great theme and did an amazing job of recycling!

  • Megan

    I've never tried matcha flavored anything but these are perfect for Earth Day. Beautiful as always!

  • crib

    These are so lovely! I like the presentation in the photos! I think I should give this a try.

  • juliana

    great idea for this month «holliday»!
    i love mactweets, looking foward to the next challenge

  • Sarah, Maison Cupcake

    They look pretty feet-y to me. You know I know where you're coming from after my shenanigans getting feet. Since I switched sugars I've not have a problem so I don't know why it grows wrong for you.

    Nevertheless, these look beautiful and thanks for telling me about Earth Day, I've not heard much about it over here as we're all obsessed with volcanos and our general election at the moment!!!

    ((hugs!))

  • Erma

Thank you so much for stopping by. I'd love to hear from you.
