Once I tried Jill Colonna's method of just mix the hell out of the batter and then fold it towards the end to achieve the right consistency - my macarons came out perfect. I've made 8 batches of macarons using this method with great success each time. I won't be going back to the gently folding the batter until it looks like molten lava method. The flavor combinattions are great. There's a section just for chocolate! What I liked best is that at the end of the book Jill gives you an egg equivalent chart for any amount of leftover egg whites you have. This is a great resource. Her macarons are not as sweet as the other recipes also. <br/><br/>I highly recommend this book for anyone is starting to make macarons. It takes the frustration out of trying to make macarons.

No more flubbed macaron shells!, January 11, 2011

This review is from: Mad About Macarons!: Make Macarons Like the French (Hardcover)

I’ve made at least 15 batches macarons from various recipes and none would turn out correctly. Once I tried Jill Colonna’s method of just mix the hell out of the batter and then fold it towards the end to achieve the right consistency – my macarons came out perfect. I’ve made 8 batches of macarons using this method with great success each time. I won’t be going back to the gently folding the batter until it looks like molten lava method. The flavor combinattions are great. There’s a section just for chocolate! What I liked best is that at the end of the book Jill gives you an egg equivalent chart for any amount of leftover egg whites you have. This is a great resource. Her macarons are not as sweet as the other recipes also.

I highly recommend this book for anyone is starting to make macarons. It takes the frustration out of trying to make macarons. No more flubbed shells with this method!
