Any macaron bakers out there?
Any macaron (the Pierre Herme kind, not the coconut kind) bakers out there? Being a baker (note: not a professional pastry chef), I am determined to conquer the macaron. DETERMINED, I tell you. I thought I was lord and master over the buggers, until I moved to a new kitchen, new oven and the DC summer heat hit. Well I've been dealing with cracked domes ever since. Check out Pierre's beautiful macarons here: http://flickr.com/search/?q=pierre+herme+macaron&m=text

Have you used a pinch of cream of tartar? It is insurance. Don't overbeat your whites it dries them out.

I have made chocolate ones many times. Don't overwhip eggwhites.
