Had a stab at macarons yesterday. Didn’t quite work, but I had to make some adjustments that weren’t ideal. The ensuing result was at least perfectly edible (with a spoon).
It does also help if trying to follow a recipe in French that you make sure you actually understand it and don’t miss steps out!
That’s some decent looking patisserie work.
Also, if anyone ever works out how to eat mille feuille (think on the right of that photo) without making a complete fucking mess, please let me know.

Bung it in the freezer overnight, saw it into bite-sized pieces the following morning (small mess ?), Robert’s your mother’s brother. Of course the custard and/or creme patissiere might have lost a little of their original fresh delicacy …

What about you?
Based on this one, altered amounts and leave out the sugar

Same recipe mostly, and I go easy on the sugar and a bit more red wine vinegar…

What about brats, where do you get them?
I rate that smoked paprika -and the sweet one- but I’m not completely sure that isn’t down to the lovely old style packaging and it’s all in my head.

It’s a commercial brand that’s available, it’s never going to be as fresh as you would want but still much better than the usual offering you see.
But…but…but it’s pre-ground
