ZUMBO macarons ..macarons

Ok...the Zumbo giveaway is all done, but I still have to give a review on the Zumbo macarons mix.
I've tried the passion fruit and salted caramel mix.

My first impression when I saw the macarons mix was impressive, looks very easy to make. As most of my friends know it took me more then 3 months and a trip to Paris to master the macaron.
I was in a macron craze last year and all I do is bake and bake and try and try to make the "PERFECT MACARON" !! I've try the French ways and the Italian ways and at the end I made it....and I ate so much macarons too. Thanks to all  hubby work friends, kids friends and neighbors for eating so much of my so called "FAIL" macarons.
The recipe for macarons is very simple all you need is eggs white, sugar and almond meal,so what is the big deal??? oh well ...it a very big deal to get that PERFECT macrons, with the perfect " FEET".
On the searched of the "PERFECT macarons" I travel to Paris, the land of the macarons. I ate so much macarons that weekend I was in macarons heaven.
From the very so called cheap looking to the very sexy and elegant looking macrons dress in the shop window like an expensive jewellery store, and believed or not even McDonald on the Champs-Elysées sells macarons. I still find making macarons from scratch is the most enjoying and rewarding thing to do, and yes..I love the Italian ways of making macarons and found that even though it take longer but the taste is magnificent.

So if you love macrons and you don't want go thru the pain of mixing eggs white and the trouble of mixing and getting everything correctly the Zumbo  macarons mix is just for you.!!
I've found it was so easy and simple and the taste is ok.
