Sweets, Holidays and Wishes
We just delivered the last of our holiday treat boxes this morning with some last minute chestnut macarons in them. Now we have a full day of cooking ahead of us and the anticipation before Christmas Eve. Prawns, foie, rib roast, roasted root vegetables, chocolate mousse cake… all in the works. I am completely thrilled to be sharing the kitchen with my mom this year and to have my family close. That is the biggest gift I could ask for.
So whether you celebrate Christmas or not, I wish you all peace and laughter. Merry Christmas!…Zorionak!

Suzie- the gelatin leaves i use are 2 grams.

I tried macarons three years ago when I visited Paris, and I loved them :)
I thought about trying to veganise them (I was not vegan then), and maybe now that I have some free thime is the perfect occasion!
