Ahhh, the heavenly sweet macaron. This one is such a star that we even considered naming our podcast Macaron!

This traditional pastry has boomed over the last twenty years. Now it is everywhere here in France: in cities and smaller towns, bakeries and cafés, airports and train stations. The macaron is a certified hit and maybe you've fallen for it yourself.

In this new episode, we discuss the success story of a tiny confection that's become so big that there is no way you can miss it when you wander through France.

What makes it such a success? What makes it so French? And what is it, really?

Listen to our new episode to know all there is to know about the beautifully round, colorful, and tasty macaron!
