My husband's currently on a business trip to Boston and since I can't be there with him, I've sent him to scout out Flour bakery for me. My fingers are crossed that he'll successfully bring some of their famous treats home for me. Either way, I'll be getting my Flour fix sometime soon by trying out this tutorial for homemade french macarons, taught by the lovely Joanne herself.
And, of course, the Flour cookbook is on my wishlist. (I have at least 10 cookbooks on my wishlist. Which ones are on yours?)

Wishing you good luck with your macarons! Unless it was specified in the tutorial, you may it useful to know that some people use a pastry scrapper to press down the batter a dozen time in order to release trapped air prior to pipping out. This helps ensure a nice, smooth shell (not bumpy or bubbly).

No offense, but if there's a facebook like button, it'll be much easier for me to share.
