In the macaroon, everything is good!
The macaron is a small almond cake, crunchy and soft, with a rounded shape, made from crushed almonds, icing sugar and egg white. It is then filled with a ganache whose tastes may differ. It was in the 19th century that the Parisian macaroon was born; a heart of butter cream or jam or compote is added between the two shells. Today it is the most consumed macaron in France.
Ludovic Billard, from Maison Billard in Charleville-Mézières, has made it one of his specialties. He even created a blue macaron like the slate of the Ardennes, with a chocolate taste and a nougatine leaf called Mac Ardennes. Without forgetting the famous macaroons filled with chocolate, vanilla from Madagascar, salted butter caramel, citrus fruits, red fruits, pistachio from Iran and so many other flavours! Ludovic Billard is our guest today and tells you all about the macaron.
