We need to keep our hopes up. But it's challenging when the major players aren't attending. So here's a recipe for Walnut macaroons to comfort you and yours.
Oh, dear! I’m a big fan of Pierre Hermé’s macarons, with his inventive flavos. But I believe you are mistaken, in the US at least, regarding macaroons. My grandmother’s macaroons had little resemblance to macarons. See, e.g., https://food52.com/story/27070-macaron-vs-macaroon-differences
You're right - it's a Europe v the States divide. In Europe, almonds are the medium, in the States, and also Australia and New Zealand, it's commonly coconut.
Julia, your rant really struck a chord but McCain Foods is Canadian (also global), not American. We Canadians are rather touchy since the U.S. president called us the 51st state!
Fantastic recipe! And I just happened to have a bag of walnuts here right now, so I made them and filled them with chocolate ganache. Thank you!!
Plus: great ganache suggestion!
I’m beyond tickled pink! Really pleased.

A coconut-based cookie is certainly not a French macaron.

Reshmi's explanation in your link is a good clarifyer.

Forgive me! I hadn't realised! Thank you. I'll correct it.
