Ever since I saw the cover of July's french themed Gourmet Traveller I'd had a hankering to make some macaroons, those beautiful french ones not the lumpy coconut ones (though I like those too). And so I attempted them on Tuesday so they could be part of our french feast. Surprisingly I made chocolate ones, not the gorgeous raspberry ones on the cover and for the first attempt (and a messy attempt indeed) they turned out okay (better than Sam's on Masterchef anyway...)I'll be attempting the Raspberry ones next, as soon as I get all the sticky egg whites off all my kitchen surfaces (and Jack and me). Sorry about the pic quality, my stylist and photographer were spending the day wit Donna H but look at all that chocolatey goodness.

Wow, that is some fancy cooking. I haven't attempted them myself. They look delicious.
I'm sure with your Nigella like baking skills and your kitchen aid they would be a breeze. The article also gives you tips which are very good. Try them..you know you want to...
Matt Preston would be making that sublime face of his if he ate these I'm sure. They look great - a nice pop etc. You've inspired me, I may well give it a go myself.
Actually I have been a Zumbo fan for a long time and his macarons are divine ...
sigh...I think the chance of him (Zumbo) opening a shop in wagga is very remote so I will have to make his premises a priority for my next sydney visit. And keep working on mine.
