HIBISCUS MACARONS with LAVENDER-HIBISCUS MASCARPONE CREAM… MacAttack!!
“Food is so primal, so essential a part of our lives, often the mere sharing of recipes with strangers turns them into good friends. That’s why I love this community.” Jasmine Heiler So much happening all the time, haven’t had a free moment ever since I’ve been back from the Food Blogger Connect in London.

CHOCOLATE MACARONS with PISTACHIO BUTTERCREAM … ‘FEETS, FEETS,’ I GOT ‘FEETS’
One more imaginary scowl from Monsieur Lebovitz later, quick discussions with Hilda, Aparna, & Meeta, I experimented for the 6th time that particular day. Two trays, 140C, a bowl at the bottom to absorb extra heat, resting time of an hour... and the Mr Levobitz's Chocolate Macaron recipe finally found me my 'feet'!
