Chewy Almond Macaroons


These tasty delights are perfect for afternoon tea with the family. They are as their name suggests, seriously chewy! The recipe can be found in a cookbook called "Feast" by the ultimate domestic goddess, Nigella Lawson. I love Nigella and I'm not afraid to say it! I can safely say that this will not be the last Nigella recipe that I will review on this blog so stay tuned! These macaroons are so simple to make, which means you can whip up a batch in no time at all. I do make a minor alteration to the recipe by boosting the cardamom factor. Half a teaspoon instead of a quarter. Cardamom has the most incredible scent that I just had to have more. Trust me and try it! Na xo

  2. Great Italian biscuit...my mother is the queen of these.
    She has been told they are as good, if not better, than those bought in specialist patisseries
