Raspberry and chili? The secrets of the macaroon master

I believe the author of the article would like to replace the word "'macaroon" with "macaron", please. Just an FYI, the terms have been known to be confused. Both are confections, but not the same. Our local bakers make lovely ones here. I believe they may be also more affordable at your local bakery, as well.

Interesting tidbit, Dewaashita! I wasn't sure what you meant as I hadn't looked at the accompanying photo for this article, so I Wiki'd the 2 terms, and see that you are right!

*Macaron :a sweet meringue-based confectionery made with egg whites, icing sugar, granulated sugar, almond powder or ground almond, and food coloring. The macaron is commonly filled with buttercream or jam filling sandwiched between two cookies. Since the English word macaroon can also refer to the coconut macaroon, many have adopted the French spelling of macaron to distinguish the two items in the English language. However, this has caused confusion over the correct spelling. Some recipes exclude the use of macaroon to refer to this French confection while others think that they are synonymous.

*Macaroon: a type of light, baked confection, described as either small cakes or meringue-like cookies depending on their consistency. Most recipes call for egg whites (usually whipped to stiff peaks), with ground or powdered seeds, generally almonds or nuts. Alternatively, coconuts, a seed, can be used. Almost all call for sugar.

The sweet dream of every woman!

I wish I lived this guy's life. So full of nuance over food. Wow.

Lime and raspberry together might be good, BUT NOT WITH CHILI PEPPER!

The Venezuelan is “robust, with aromas of cooked passionfruit,” the Madagascan “more acidic, subtler, with aromas of cooked pineapple and less bitterness.”

I would like to taste it, sounds so sublime.
