French macaroons are some of Paris’s most elegant pastries, unlike the American coconut macaroons these creamy filled cookies simply melt in your mouth. French macaroons are beginning to pop up in a variety of pastry shops here in the U.S. As wonderful as it may be to buy these delicious treats, today I’m going to teach you how to make French macaroons of your very own; It’s time to get creative, Almond macaroons are blank canvas. To start make a trip to the grocery store, unless you have all these items handy in your kitchen at home. You’ll need an eight ounce bag of confectioner’s sugar along with another eight ounce bag of almond flour. Warning almond flour is difficult it find, not all grocery stores carry it.

The brush added, when finished, call for 1 tablespoon melted butter, and 1/8 teaspoon of each herb left over. Each ingredient calls for a specific amount, but it is important to purchase a substantial amount of each ingredient, considering possible “flops” in your outcome. When searching for each of these ingredients, you must be diligent in picking your products. For example, there are often four different kinds of milk to choose from- skim, whole, 1% or 2%. These milks all taste different, have a different nutritional value, and could possibly change the outcome of your bread. The main difference within these types of milk, is the fat content. When making bread, whole milk is the preferred kind, due to the fat content required in order for the bread to rise properly. Sometimes, when baking cakes, skim milk can be used, but in order to receive the best outcome when making breads, whole milk should be
For decades, Macaroni and cheese have remained on the list of America's "top ten comfort foods" and is the number one cheese recipe in the U.S. I will be instructing on how to make southern style baked macaroni and cheese.

The immigration from the World Wars added to the diversity of the French culture.
