My husband prefers macaroons, I prefer macarons. Confused? Read below and learn the difference. Which one do you like?
Although macarons are French, they were actually created in Italy by the chef of Catherine de Medicis in 1533 at her wedding to the future king of France. Macarons were different back then......more simple. In the early 1900's, the grandson of Louis Ernest Laduree turned them into 2 level creation filled with chocolate panache to hold them together. Today macarons are so popular they are even served at McDonalds in France.
