The issue is ISSUU.com

Andrew and I put this limited edition booklet together last Christmas as a little gift for family and friends. I thought it would be fun to publish it on Issuu.com a self publishing website.

Not Macaroons, Macarons

I ordered this book back in December hoping to make yummy macarons for the holidays, but no such luck.

Although gaining in popularity blogs are full of stories of failed attempts and faulty recipes. This book was the only one I could find on Amazon.com that was dedicated to making the tasty french treat.
