I found using 300g ground almonds, 300g icing sugar and 300g caster sugar produced too much quantity of the same colour, so I tend to use the same quantity and split into 2. Do not use less than the 110g egg white called for to mix the colouring otherwise the batter will be too stiff and you will not have a smooth surface, plus your shell will all have peaks, which makes your macarons a nuisance to stack (I used 150g egg white). If you use this book a lot, I think it is good to deviate from the recipes, to see the results that are produced. It all helps to produce the perfect macarons. For example instead of the 180C that pierre recommends, I bake all mine at 150C for 11 minutes and they turn out perfect.Lately I have used 300g ground almonds, 300g icing sugar and 300g caster sugar to make 3 different Macaron flavours, hence think outside the box and make 3, possibly 4 different colours / flavours of Macarons as illustrated in the image below. The green macarons are Matcha tea, orange are Orange flavour and the brown ones are Coffee.I love what Pierre Herme has done with this book. I am not sure that the aim is to copy what he has done, but to get you thinking on how to create your own Macarons, try to copy Pierre and you will be frustrated because many of the ingredients are not easy to come by. My first batch of Macarons I made were Coconut Macarons which involved using Coconut natural extract in the shell and Coconut oil and more coconut extract in the filing. It was divine for my first trial.I bought my ground almonds from Sainsbury's and it was not finely grounded, after sifting the almonds only 100g of the 200g was finely grounded. In the end I decided it will be a waste to throw 100g away and that had an impact on the presentation of the shell. It was not smooth at all, but it tasted good. I now buy my ground almond from Costco, as it is more finely grounded, and comes in a 1.36Kg bag (No longer available). Waitrose's quality is also good, but is quite expensive.The book is inspirational and highly recommended for anyone who is patient and skilled to produce these delicate munchies. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic book *by M***E on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 December 2018* Well ......... I should have just gone ahead and bought this book long long time ago. It would have saved me a lot of time, energy and wasted ingredients.I am no newbie when it comes to baking, but no matter what I did, nothing worked. I followed million different recipes online, YouTube recipes etc. and they all very conveniently “forget” and skip over some crustal steps and details that make ALL the difference.This book is very well constructed with very clear and simple-to-follow instruction. I have, at no point, had any trouble understanding the instructions and as long as you follow everything to the letter, you will succeed in making these little cookies.Just a quick warning for those who wish to bake Macarons with whatever they already have scattered about in their cupboards ....... it won’t work with this particular book. There are some ingredients in here that require a little effort to get, which I personally see as an exciting challenge and a chance to discover new flavours. If you love baking and don’t have a problem doing some searching, you’ll love the results.I will be buying the second book as well, as I am well impressed by everything I found in this one. I definitely recommend ^^ --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ie/products/60010531-macarons](https://www.desertcart.ie/products/60010531-macarons) --- *Product available on Desertcart Ireland* *Store origin: IE* *Last updated: 2026-04-26*
