macaron

Today, I'm going to talk about "macaron".

Have you ever watched "Marie Antoinette"?

That's my favorite one and the scenes which I like are

that Marie is eating sweets.



In 1770, Marie got married to Louis Augesto who was a prince in France.
However, Marie was sort of isolated because she was from Austria.
Although she found herself alone, there were always so beautiful dresses,

shoes, jewelies and SWEETS around her.















When I watched it for the first time(5-6years ago?),

I was curious about colorful circle things like cookies.

They were macaron:)














































Macaron is a confection which is like sandwich.

Colored cookies sand butter cream or jam.

Cookies are made from egg whites, icing sugar,

granulated sugar, almond powder or ground almond, and food coloring.


Macaron is tradittional food in France and it has a long history.

It said that macarons were created in Frence in 791.

However, there are a lot of opimion about its origin.


I felt the food is part of its country's history

and it has been loved so long long time.

  2. Hi Mai!
    I'm Yuna;)

    I really enjoyed reading your blog!

    I've watched Marie Antoinette as well.
    To be honest, I coulfn't understand the "story" itself, but I enjoyed colorful and beautiful visual of the movie. Marie's life is like all girls' dream, isn't it?

    When I saw macaron first time, I felt that "what a lovely sweets" I'd never seen such a lovely sweets. so I sometimes eat macaron as a little treat for something;)What kinds of scene do you eat it?

    If you know some favorite macaron shop, please let me know. I'd like to hear that soon,

    Thank you

  3. Hi, Yuna. I'm Saori.

    I have never seen the movie "Marie Antoinette," but it seems like lovely one which almost all girls will love:)

    Yes, I love macaron too!
    Have you ever tried to make it? One of my friends made it, and gave to me. It was so good, and I was surprised because I though it's very difficult to make it at home.

    If you know how to make it well, please let me know:)

    Thank you
    Saori
