Recipes intended not to work!
The book is beautiful, no doubt. It has beautiful pictures, the cover looks luxurious and recipes are well explained. But it all stops here the macaron and filling recipes look so delicious in the book but reality says differently. The Laudree video on YouTube shows very clearly that they are making macarons the Italian meringue method using the hot sugar syrup but on the other hand the book shows all the French meringue methods. The macarons are always hollow. Their chocolate macaron shell recipe is guaranteed to result into cracked shells. Most of their filling recipes will yield the fillings so liquidy that one can easily drink with a straw! They do not specify the quantity of egg whites in weight so it cannot be accurate due to different sizes of eggs. I wish the author was sensible enough to specify the egg whites in grams just like the other ingredients. I recommend you will find better recipes on YouTube and I also recommend you not buying this product.
