The 2009 October Daring Bakers’ challenge was brought to us by Ami S. She chose macarons from Claudia Fleming’s The Last Course: The Desserts of Gramercy Tavern as the challenge recipe.
I would have bet it would take a Daring Bakers Challenge to get me to make macarons, that signature French sandwich cookie that lives in beautiful photos of Parisian cafe life. I'd made them before, years ago in pastry school, at the insistence (and curriculum) of the chef who thought we'd never make it in the world without learning these, langues du chat, and rumballs.
