I am really looking forward to try black colored macarons eversince I lay my hands on the black powdered food coloring. To be honest the powdered food coloring I ordered online is more expensive than the ground almonds and in this recipe I almost finish the tiny (3 gm) container but I'm still not satisfied with the color. They look brownish black to me. Anyway, I am so happy to see those pretty ruffled feet once again, because these past few attempts the macaron baking fairy has left me for others. I ended up alone in the kitchen with cracked, overcooked, short feet sometimes feet-less macarons and shattered soul.
If you succeed at first congratulations! But keep your fingers crossed everytime you make them again because macarons are notorious for being extremely temperamental little divas even though they are only made up of four ingredients. Indeed 100% no fool-proof. So practice, practice and practice. ;-)

See what I mean?
I am really thankful to my mother in-law for the never ending supply of ground almonds. I can pratice making macaron anytime I want.
