I would love a no fail french macaroon recipe....trying to perfect that sweet indulgent morsel.

I ordered three macaron books :) thank you!

I would recommend this book Mad About Macarons, www.madaboutmacarons.com

This is Food52's winner of the Macaroon contest. The instructions are very clear.I made macarons for the first time with this recipe & they came out perfectly -- feet & all!

Thanks so much everyone!

This month's issue of Fine Cooking has an entire section devoted to perfecting macarons. http://www.finecooking.com/videos/how-to-make-classic-french-macarons.aspx
