For some reason ladies do love macarons. We are ready to fight to convince which of them are truly maccherone. Don't argue - the very first ones were made of ground almonds. It is said it was in the late 8th century in Italy. However the French are equally famous for this fine pastry. One is certain, they need to be crispy outside and soft inside. But have you heard about healthy macarons?!
