I make a lot of macarons and bought this book because I wanted a more systematic approach. I’m looking forward to studying and learning from it.
I wonder if there is any other book that explains macarons in such detail. I always enjoy Chef Eunjeong Lee’s books; they never disappoint!
A new book by the pastry chef I admire most in the world, Eun-kyung Lee, is here. I studied pastry for a long time and always thought macarons were the hardest thing to make. Even after studying and practicing, they were never easy. Chef Eunjeong Lee’s The Macaron explains things concretely, making it approachable even for someone like me who finds macarons difficult. It is easy for beginners to understand, too. I highly recommend it.
Lee Eun-jeong: The Macaron
Macarons are the jewels of dessert displays, showing off their many colors in a gleaming showcase. They are delicate cookies whose results can vary widely until you understand the basic principles. Even though the ingredients and recipe are simple, they are not easy to make well. The Macaron is a specialist book based on the experience and knowledge pastry chef Eunjeong Lee has accumulated over more than a decade. Her ‘Pro Macaron Class’ helped lead the macaron trend in Korea. The theory section explains meringue and macaronage—the keys to macarons—in detail so anyone can make them without failure. It introduces different types and characteristics of egg whites, sugar, and almond powder, and analyzes why macaron shells fail. It also shares Chef Lee’s business know-how for opening a professional shop and developing new menu items, including store layout, production planning, product management and sales, and packaging. The recipe section presents products from Chef Lee’s more than 13 years of work, selected for ease of production, productivity, and sales, and organized by buttercream, ganache, and cream cheese fillings. It also introduces regional traditional macarons and adapted desserts, helping readers create recipes of their own. If you are tired of vague, improvised recipes, make macarons properly from the beginning with The Macaron. You will learn what a ‘real macaron’ is.
