My husband and I just returned from Paris a couple of days ago, and we absolutely had to stock up on macarons!<br /><br />Before we went to Paris, we drooled over your article for a week or so. Your post and its beautiful photos definitely prepared us for all of the macarons we saw there. But it was such fun buying and trying them from Pierre Herme, La Duree, and Gerard Mulot (as well as two local bakeries). We definitely loved the Gerard Mulot ones best, especially the strawberry ones.

I hadn't thought of that. Great idea!!<br />*I have been freezing macarons for several years, and it works great!! This way I can continue to enjoy macarons at home until my next trip to Paris!! <br /><B>I take the macarons out of the box, and I put them in ziplock baggies (a few in each bag) and then carefully place them in the side compartment of my freezer, where there are no other items to crush them, etc.</B> I defrost them one or two at a time, leaving them at room temperature overnnight or for a few hours. Delicious!!! Of course, I think they taste best fresh--but this is the next best thing!!... Give it a try--I think you will be happy with them!!<br /><br />Thanks again for my daily Paris "fix"!!!<br />KathleenKathleennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-6583820065866370352009-05-27T10:45:59.038-04:002009-05-27T10:45:59.038-04:00I'm drooling with envy!

Just had to write and say I especially loved the one today because I am a Mac-aholic, too!! I love them!! I go to Paris once or twice/year and bring back macarons with me each time (from Pierre Herme and Laduree). They freeze really well. In fact, I still have some in the freezer from my trip to France last month.<br />Thanks again for my daily dose of life in Paris!!<br />KathleenKathleennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-24960574392299481832009-05-27T03:44:56.812-04:002009-05-27T03:44:56.812-04:00Gorgeous photos!
