Chamomile Madelines
Chamomile is a flowering plant that belongs to the daisy family. The plant has small white flowers with yellow centers, and it's known for its distinctive scent and taste. Chamomile has a long history of medicinal use, but it's also used in cooking in many parts of the world.
Chamomile is also used in French pastries, such as madeleines. Madeleines are small sponge cakes that are shaped like shells, and they are often flavored with lemon or vanilla. Here is my simple recipe to make Chamomile Madeleines.
Macarons, Macaroons, and Macron - What's the Difference?
If you're a fan of French cuisine or just have a sweet tooth, you may have come across the word "macaron" before. But what exactly is a macaron, and what's the difference between it and a macaroon or even a Macron?
In the first episode of Fabulously Delicious, we talked to pastry chef Molly Wilkinson about all things macarons. According to Molly, a macaron is a delicate, sandwich-like cookie made of two almond-based meringue shells with a filling in the middle. The shells are crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside, and they come in a variety of flavors and colors.
On the other hand, a macaroon is a denser, coconut-based cookie that is typically made with shredded coconut, egg whites, sugar, and vanilla extract. It's often dipped in chocolate and has a more rustic texture than a macaron.
