Macarons by Pierre Hermé (Hardcover)

Macarons are the aristocrats of pastry; these brightly coloured, mini meringues, daintily sandwiched together with gooey fillings, have become a holy grail for cookery fanatics and there are even food blogs dedicated to them. Pierre Herme is a man at the top of his art and there is no question his macarons are in a league of his own.
