I've made 'perfect' macarons many times and tbh they're not all that. They're kind of a bragging right among bakers but unless you're trying to show off your chops as a domestic goddess they're a timesink with relatively little payoff. They taste good, yeah, but not only are your 'imperfect' ones are adorably charming they probably taste way better too. Protip if you live in the US: Almond flower is pretty expensive in most stores, but I found that you can get the same-size bag at Aldi for around half the price.

I would pay an amount of actual money that exists for an app that had Adams voice and was just a big red NO button (useful for any time in life you need to say it to someone with the authority you can only attain by being a really great internet cook. If someone could put this together before my dentist appointment next week, thatd be peachy.

This has. honestly completely changed my perspective in a way I never expected. Macarons are my favourite and I've always wanted to make them at home cause they're so pricey but I was scared they'd be ugly. But yeah, who cares? If they taste like macarons, I'm gonna be really happy I'm making these tomorrow, will update how it goes.

Hey Adam, Some of us arent in luck, such as me, and there is literally no almond flower in any of the stores around me in a fairly large area. Also almonds are way way way cheaper (usually less than halve the price) than the flower (which i found on amazon. Do you have any tips on making the flower at home? Great video by the way

Me, before this video: - Macaroons are the hardest baked good to make at home, up there with the croissantMe, after watching this video: - l'd have to be brain damaged to manage to [expletive] up this recipeThis is the macaroon revolution, this will bring down their prices just as it happened with the tulips

I absolutely love your videos. They have become a staple in my house. The home cook attitude of NO you don't have to go over board, this isn't for a 5 star hotel. If it tastes good to you then it's perfect. Plus the alternative Adam is my favorite. Long live the empire

How to make macarons. 1. try and make perfect macarons, 2. mess up, 3. denial, 4. guilt, 5. anger, 6. bargaining, 7. depression, 8. acceptance, 9. make another batch knowing they are gonna look like garbage and be ok with that because they taste the same.

Actually, speaking of factory perfection: i can buy perfectly shaped (and quite yummy too) macarons at a supermarket for a rather low low price compared to bakeries, that charge 2 for one macaron. Instead, I can have like 4 or 6 for that price.

I appreciate what you're going for in the video, but this is tough to watch. The first video I found of yours was the Broiled Chocolate Chip one and I enjoyed it so much because it was to the point, not even the reason of it being concise.
