Hello!

This is very interesting. Today I learnt that Macaroon shells are made with Italian meringue which is made by a totally different method than that of the French meringue.

  • lol i don’t have a clue about the diff


  • They are very different trust me .The French have taught me very well! lol!!!


  • I didn’t think there was much difference


  • LOL! I have been inspired to make meringues. :)


  • Italian meringue is less cooked on the inside than French meringue.


  • I have always used the French method. It works so ell even when I make chocolate meringue—- pavlova!


  • I love all types of meringue!


  • I never knew there were types, I have only ever made the French ones, that explains why mine have never had a gloosy finish, I always wondered why.


  • But Kasey the Italian ones are so glossy and yummy, haha, I’ll keep doing the sugar syrup :) I should really give the French a go though huh? :)
