Mouth Watering Macaroons


I have made up a batch of the most amazing Chocolate Macaroons, filled with a chocolate ganache. The only problem was that they were all eaten within 24 hours! Next time I will make up double the quantity so there is some left to take to school in my lunchbox. I used Nigella Lawson's recipe from "How to be a Domestic Goddess". You can find the recipe here.

For Technology and Enterprise at school this term, we had to build and race our own Billy Carts. Yesterday my Dad came to school to help my team put together our Billy Cart. We made it out of items we found during a recent kerbside bulk rubbish collection in our neighbourhood. We had fun racing them today at school.

24 hours ! They look so good I'm surprised they lasted even 24 minutes .

Alison Boon said...

Definitely think making a double amount would be wise if they tasted anywhere as good as they looked.

Wow, home made macaroons .. and they're almost as perfect as the ones one sees around in fine pastries around my neighborhood! Very tempting! My favorite are chocolate (of course!) and raspberry.

Yummy... and the billycart building/racing sounds fun too! Kinda reminds me of my brother- he's always building amazing stuff with junk he finds during the street collections.
