Orange-Rum Macaroons

No, I didn't spell macarons wrong. This is about macaroons. And sadly, not about macarons. I won't go into technical differences - suffice to say that macarons are dainty little things that are super-difficult to make (at least I think so!) and macaroons are a lot sturdier, and takes five minutes to make. Both are delicious. This version has orange zest and dark rum, which makes these coconutty...

WHB : Coconut and Lavender Macaroons

Unlike their more sophisticated French cousins, which are pretty and pastelly, but have no hold over me, I have a weakness for coconut macaroons.

Hazelnut Macaroons

A post by at Martin Dwyer - Words . You can buy ground Hazelnuts in any supermarket in France and in some speciality shops here. Today I decided to try substituting them for almonds in my favourite biscuit recipe (favourite because it is foolproof, simple and delicious).

Coconut Macaroon Pancakes

If you can imagine coconut macaroons in pancake form, you'll understand where I'm headed. Moist, golden, coconut-packed, with just a hint of sweetness - these are decadent and delicious.

I looked at the batter, looked at...

As a newcomer to Pittsburgh and outsider in the local social scene, about the only thing that's still noteworthy to me about the ultra-exclusive, ultra-historical private Duquesne Club is its reputation for serving extraordinary macaroon cookies.
