hOw to make Macaroon

To day I'll show you how to make your own Macaroon.

The basic macaroon formula isn’t hard. There is only one recipe for the biscuit: fine almond powder, icing sugar, beaten egg whites, caster sugar and food colouring. Sounds simple but, as Sucheta explains, macaroons are tricky; he regularly throws away whole batches if they’re less than perfect.
There are two methods: the French (easier) and Italian (for the pros). Both are similar, except that the Italian method first heats the sugar in water while the French uses plain caster sugar.
