Pierre Herme Macarons Book Review + Herme for Dummies
The English edition of Pierre Herme’s Macarons book is finally out. I’m going to give you the dirt, is it worth all the hype?

In the book, they are made with cranberries, but the author suggests dried blueberries as an alternative. Yeah, I took the blueberry option cause I’m a rebel!
