Ladurée Macarons: The Recipes

In the mid-20th century, the first Ladurée macaron was invented when Pierre Desfontaines, cousin of Louis Ernest Ladurée, ingeniously sandwiched two cookies together and filled them with a delectable ganache. The preparation remains unchanged to this day. Ladurée unveils new flavors each season, celebrating the crispy yet soft texture of this round cake with a perfect blend of aromas and textures. With a growing palette of flavors and colors, including classic chocolate and raspberry, festive and exotic flavors, inspiration from fashion and perfumes, and more, this book showcases all 80 Ladurée macarons, along with their aromas, origins, and trend books. And for those who wish to recreate these elegant treats at home, the book includes step-by-step instructions on how Ladurée's expert chefs craft the cookies and fillings.
