It turns out that there’s such a thing as Macaron Day, and it’s celebrated every year in March! This yummy day originated in France, and it’s focused entirely on this chic dessert, with pastry shops giving out complimentary macarons for charitable causes. Here are five surprising facts about these colorful cookies that you probably didn’t know.

Origins Unveiled

Forget what you thought you knew—macarons actually have Italian roots! Catherine de’ Medici brought these fancy treats to France in the 16th century, and the French took them and ran with them.

Mix-Up Alert

Before you make a crucial mistake, macarons and macaroons are two totally different things. While Macarons are made of a mix of almond flour, egg white, and sugar, macaroons are all about dense, coconut-based chewiness.

Calorie Check

You might want to sit down for this one—macarons are surprisingly low-calorie, with just 70 to 100 calories per cookie. So go ahead, indulge in all the flavors without the guilt trip.

DIY Dream

Thanks to the Ladurée Sucré cookbook, macaron lovers everywhere can now whip up these Insta-worthy treats in their own kitchen. Get ready to flex your baking skills and impress your feed.

Evolutionary Eats

Did you know that back in the day, macarons only had a single layer? In the 20th century, they leveled up into double-deckers, adding even more flair to this fancy French favorite.

Indulge in the refreshing burst of citrus with this fantastic homemade lemon sorbet recipe. Perfect for hot summer days or as a palate cleanser between courses, this sorbet is bursting with zesty lemon flavor and is surprisingly easy to make. Here’s how to whip up a batch of this delightful treat.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup of granulated sugar
  • 1 cup of water
  • 1 cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 4-6 lemons)
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Optional: Lemon slices or mint leaves for garnish

Instructions:

  1. In a small saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and water. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has completely dissolved, and the mixture forms a simple syrup. This should take about 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature.
  2. Once the simple syrup has cooled, stir in the freshly squeezed lemon juice, lemon zest, and salt. Mix well to combine, ensuring that the lemon juice is fully incorporated into the syrup.
  3. Pour the lemon mixture into a shallow dish or baking pan. Cover with plastic wrap and place it in the freezer.
  4. Every 30 minutes, remove the sorbet mixture from the freezer and use a fork to scrape and fluff the mixture, breaking up any ice crystals that form. Repeat this process every 30 minutes for about 3-4 hours, or until the sorbet reaches your desired consistency.
  5. Once the sorbet is firm but still scoopable, transfer it to an airtight container and store it in the freezer until ready to serve. When serving, scoop the sorbet into bowls or glasses. Garnish with lemon slices or mint leaves for an extra touch of freshness, if desired.
  6. Enjoy this refreshing lemon sorbet on its own as a light and tangy dessert, or pair it with fresh berries, shortbread cookies, or a drizzle of honey for added indulgence.

Experience the best of both worlds with this tantalizing rice dish—a harmonious fusion of the vibrant flavors of paella and the dynamic simplicity of a stir-fry. Bursting with savory goodness and a symphony of textures, this cross-cultural creation is bound to become a staple in your culinary repertoire. Let’s dive into the deliciousness of this paella-inspired rice stir-fry.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup of long-grain white rice
  • 2 cups of chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1 bell pepper, diced
  • 1 cup of diced tomatoes (canned or fresh)
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon saffron threads (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup of cooked chicken, shrimp, or sausage (optional)
  • Fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
  • Lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions:

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine the rice and chicken or vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and fluffy. Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for an additional 5 minutes.
  2. While the rice cooks, heat the olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until softened and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add the diced bell pepper to the skillet and cook for another 2-3 minutes until slightly softened.
  4. Stir in the diced tomatoes, smoked paprika, saffron threads (if using), dried thyme, and dried oregano. Cook for 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Once the rice is cooked, add it to the skillet with the vegetable mixture. Stir well to combine, ensuring that the rice is evenly coated with the flavorful sauce.
  5. If desired, add cooked chicken, shrimp, or sausage to the skillet, stirring until heated through. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust seasoning as needed. Serve the dish hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley or cilantro, and accompanied by lemon wedges for squeezing over the rice before eating.

Indulge in the refreshing burst of citrus with this fantastic homemade lemon sorbet recipe. Perfect for hot summer days or as a palate cleanser between courses, this sorbet is bursting with zesty lemon flavor and is surprisingly easy to make. Here’s how to whip up a batch of this delightful treat.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup of granulated sugar
  • 1 cup of water
  • 1 cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 4-6 lemons)
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Optional: Lemon slices or mint leaves for garnish

Instructions:

  1. In a small saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and water. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has completely dissolved, and the mixture forms a simple syrup. This should take about 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature.
  2. Once the simple syrup has cooled, stir in the freshly squeezed lemon juice, lemon zest, and salt. Mix well to combine, ensuring that the lemon juice is fully incorporated into the syrup.
  3. Pour the lemon mixture into a shallow dish or baking pan. Cover with plastic wrap and place it in the freezer.
  4. Every 30 minutes, remove the sorbet mixture from the freezer and use a fork to scrape and fluff the mixture, breaking up any ice crystals that form. Repeat this process every 30 minutes for about 3-4 hours, or until the sorbet reaches your desired consistency.
  5. Once the sorbet is firm but still scoopable, transfer it to an airtight container and store it in the freezer until ready to serve. When serving, scoop the sorbet into bowls or glasses. Garnish with lemon slices or mint leaves for an extra touch of freshness, if desired.
  6. Enjoy this refreshing lemon sorbet on its own as a light and tangy dessert, or pair it with fresh berries, shortbread cookies, or a drizzle of honey for added indulgence.
