What do you see in the internet that can make you forget the time- or forget how many macarons did you eat already?...  😄

İ lost my self in the web world anytime İ click anything about cooking, start from bakeware sale until food photography.
And İ love crafting like crocheting, so İ mostly drifting away searching hundreds of patterns.. 😊

Eniweeeeyyy...my today post is my latest macarons baking. 
Yep... İ enjoy to eat them as much as İ love to bake them. Give me a pro camera then İ will capture them in many styles! 😊
They are so adorable in front of camera, don't you think so? 

What is macarons?
Macarons, a sweet treat meringue-based confection made of egg white, sugar, icing sugar, almond powder, and sometimes food coloring is added. 
The confection is characterized by smooth, squared top, ruffled circumference (referred to as the "foot" or "pied"), and a flat base. It is mildly moist and easily melts in the mouth. Macarons can be found in a wide variety of flavors that range from the traditional (raspberry, chocolate) to the new (foie gras or matcha).

Basic Macarons with Chocolate Caramel Filling (Italian meringue method)

Resep dalam Bhs Indonesia ada di bagian bawah

Merhaba From Türkiye 👋

First of all, I'd like to thank you for visiting my blog. I hope you can come back, again and again, to check up any beyond Indonesian or Turkish food or something sweets that you might love. Your comments and emails brighten my days and make this simple blog thing worthwhile 😍💛

Making macarons is part of my baking journey. I still remember how many times İ failed baking them before İ finally had my happy ending story.

My 1st successful macarons were lemon macarons a couple of years ago, followed by some flavored macarons that become my favorite, especially Pandan macarons with coconut cream filling. 
For you who never try pandan in your macarons, you should try it...totally delish for your coffee time or entertain your friends.

Or maybe chocolate is your favorite.. you could see my dark chocolate macarons İ previously posted.
All those my macarons are using french meringue method which starts with raw egg whites, whipped until they're foamy enough to hold stiff peaks, then fold into almond icing sugar mixture.
For Macarons with French meringue method, you can visit my category list "MACARONS" .

Just for information, there are three methods to whip the egg white; French method ( İ mentioned above), the Swiss method, and the İtalian method.

Swiss meringue method combines the granulated sugar and egg whites upfront, whisking them together over a water bath to about 140°F (60°C), then whipping them until stiff peak stage.

You might know that macarons are highly unreliable cookies, even if you have made them several times. The results can vary from time to time, and sometimes you have no idea what went wrong when you got your macarons has no feet or crack or collapse after baking. 

It takes some time to figure out what works for you, in your kitchen and oven. 

When making macarons, most patisseries use the Italian method, due to the reliability of Italian meringue. People say it's very stable, which is important for a well-shaped macaron as well as fail-safe.

That's one of my reason also İ want to start my baking journey using İtalian meringue method for my macarons. İn this method we will whip the meringue with hot sugar syrup until it thick and glossy before adding it to almond mixture.

So voalla... here it is my blue macarons using my first italian meringue method 😍😎

For this method, İ uses liquefied egg white which is the egg white that had been placed in a clean jar, İ covered with cling wrap with some small holes to let water content evaporate. İ kept my egg white in the refrigerator for 3 or 4 days.

Some of you may doesn't like macarons-even İ doubt it 😖. And İ believe many of you loovvveee macarons or even addicted to it.

Me; İ am addicted too ... but more on baking them. İ like macarons so much of course but İ try to limit my self to eat sweet things too often or too much. 

İ also addicted to take pictures of them. İ guess you already know how cute and adorable this sweet little thing in front of camera 😍. Aren't they just photogenic? 😃

İ have a pot of lavender flower in my balcony which beautifully bloom in this June, so İ took the flower for these pictures. So what you see here are real lavender flower. But İ use dried lavender tea from local seller for the recipe.

Hazelnut Macarons With Nutella Filling

Selam everybody.....Merhaba from Turkey.

İt has been for a while İ didn't post any macarons recipe since my last "Rose Macarons with Rose Raspberry buttercream filling" İ didn't post any macarons not because İ didn't bake one, in fact İ start receive some macarons order since few months ago.

İt happen unexpectedly after one staff of baking distributor where İ usually buying my baking ingredient asked my phone number. She said some people who came to their store often ask her how to make macarons or are they selling one. Yes İ know they don't sell any macarons but some wonderfully delish chocolate. She asked me some questions whether İ can receive some order for macarons so she can give my contact to their customer as well.....

Well....İt was just starting like that. İ was so..so..so exciting (almost nervous) when İ got my 1st call for the macarons 😄

Actually İ received pre order for making some food or cakes with personal touch. Just like this Flower Bouquet cup cake, some one ordered it for her special friends. Or yummy black Forrest cake for anniversary someones special to their anniversary. Just check my "CAKE GALERY" section to see some of my collection. Sorry if İ didn't update picture with new one.

Anyway..... Let's back to my post today. Yep....Another macarons! But wait, this time is different one. İ use hazelnut meal instead of almond meal which İ usually use. No reason, almond meal getting expensive now on my local.. more expensive than pistachio (medium grade. Higher grade pistachio still more expensive) or hazelnut. So this is one of my reason to try hazelnut meal for my macarons. Actually trying hazelnut meal for macarons already on my waiting list since long time ago and now İ think the right time to give a shoot.

İf you are pistachio lover you can see my last post Pistachio Macarons in this link. İ should bake another pistachio macarons soon as well 😊 .

Rose Macarons with rose jam butter cream filling

Selam everybody...... Merhaba from Turkey.

As spring blooms in every corner of my town, these eye catching rose macarons beautifully bloom with perfect feet in my oven. My overwhelming happy heart because I can add more collection for my macarons flavor. And proudly I can pass another macarons baking without fail.

This is true story... once you succeed baking nice, perfect and yummy macarons. I'll tell you, YOU CAN NOT STOP! ^,^
And you better start to find some new friend to enjoy them together. Or... maybe you start thinking to make money by selling them among friends and relatives.. why not? 

Macarons is very expensive here. Once I tried to buy from local patisserie at one mall, I must paid 25 TL (Turkish lira) for 4 small macarons! Just convert it to your own money.
And for me nothing so special about that macarons I bought but they came with nice pastel color which I like, that's all.

And it was too sweet for me. 

Long long time ago when I was visiting my sister who lived in Kajang, Malaysia at that time, I remember I ate macarons at Kuala Lumpur, in one cafe  inside petronas tower. . . I remember I ate chocolate macarons with chocolate filling. The tart was perfect and the sweet was just balanced with the bitterness of the chocolate. And that was I think best chocolate macarons I ate until.. I can bake it by my self.. lol.

Should I fly to Paris to taste better macarons? 😍 ^,^

Well.... just go to your local market to grab some almond meal. Then go to your kitchen to start baking them by your self. You will get cheap yet yummy macarons without flying to France.

Black Sesame Macarons with Dark Cocoa filling

Selam Everybody.... Mehaba from Turkey...

Macarons, is a french sweet meringue-based confection made with egg white, icing sugar, granulated sugar, almond powder or ground almond, and food colouring. The macaron is commonly filled with ganache, buttercream or jam filling sandwiched between two cookies. The name is derived from the Italian word macarone, maccarone or maccherone, the meringue.

Even basically these people fave just made with 4 ingredients plus food coloring (if using), now we can find many ideas of variety for this macarons. Like adding cocoa powder in it to make chocolate macarons. Or adding some Asian taste by adding matcha or pandan flavor in it. 
And if you are my regular reader, you should know that previously I made new favorite; coconut macarons. In case you missed my other macarons recipe, you can check at "Macarons" category list.

And part of my obsession to make macarons' variety as many as I can, today I made black sesame seed macarons. Some of you maybe already familiar with black sesame seed macarons, meanwhile some of you never heard about it and wondering how it make and taste.

Yup..me neither ^,^ I never tried black sesame macarons before. That is why I am so curious about it. When I search for black sesame macarons recipe on the net, I found some of them used 100% black sesame seed for their nut-free macarons while other using ratio for almond and black sesame powder. 

So for my black sesame macarons today I'll stick to my base recipe with a little modification adding black sesame powder. Oh, btw... I make my own black sesame powder by grinding some black sesame seeds in a spice grinder. Sift a few times to get a smooth powder. 

Bring back the coarse one to the grinder to process until you get smooth powder. But be careful not to work it too long otherwise you'll end up with oily and gritty powder. Next time I will post how to make black sesame seed powder in separated post, this time I didn't take picture of it.

But it would be easier if you can access black sesame powder ready in your hand ^,^

Orange Macarons with orange curd & Cream Cheese Filling

Assalamu'alaikum ....
Merhaba from Turkiye my friends...

I thought orange season already over this April until last Wednesday I met them in my neighborhood bazar, of course the price slightly higher than usual. But who cares.. I love Orange..hehehhee.. So I bought only 2 kg for 6 turkish lira.

My Kid loves yogurt with fruit flavor so I already have an idea for it. Summer already knock the door and I'm thinking to make orange frozen yogurt later for my family dessert. It's okay, I will freeze them for it. Yes.... I love orange. We like to drink orange juice-fresh one (^,^). And since lately I just start my "macarons adventure" ... I'm thinking, why don't I make orange macarons also? It will be very refreshing and I'm sure my family will love it too... (^,^)

For the filling for this orange macarons I choose cream cheese filling with orange curd in the middle. But really you can go ahead with another filling as you like. 

This time I didn't have any left over egg white, so I use fresh (not aged) egg white. I know..some people said macarons should make from aged (stay over night) egg white. But for me I don't have any problem using new egg white-as long as your egg white is in room temperature. 

Tips: If you-in case- forget to take out your egg from fridge. Do like I usually did. Put your egg white over shimmering water for few minute while whisking it. Always check with your finger tip if your egg white already reach room temperature, remove from heat and continue whisking as procedure.

Do you like green tea? Green tea is made from the leaves from Camellia sinensis that have undergone minimal oxidation during processing. Green tea originated in China, but it has become associated with many cultures throughout Asia. Green tea has recently become relatively widespread in the West where black tea has been the traditionally consumed tea.

Green tea has become the raw material for extracts used in various beverages, dietary supplements, and cosmetic items. Many varieties of green tea have been created in the countries where it is grown. These varieties can differ substantially due to variable growing conditions, horticulture, production processing, and harvesting time.

Many claims have been made for the beneficial health effects of green tea consumption, but they have generally not been borne out by scientific investigation; excessive consumption is associated with some harmful health effects.

My today post is Matcha/ Green tea macarons with matcha Chocolate filling. The aroma during I bake this macarons it's just like soul therapy for me (^,^) . It has mild refreshing scent inside my house and since it's winter now, I didn't open any window, the scent stay long about few hours more... hhmmmm... I think you should try it too (^,^)
