Macaroons by Delicious Magazine, UK and Tiramisu by Laura Vitale

Macaroons by Delicious Magazine, UK
On the 3rd of November I attempted to make macaroons for the first time. I searched up a recipe and I found on in the Delicious Magazine, UK. I made 3 different colors for macaroons and filled it with simple butter cream.  It was and easy recipe but a little tiring cause I had to make 3 bathes because of the different colors. There were only 3 basic ingredients, almond meal, sugar and eggs for the macaroons. For the butter cream I only needed butter and sugar. 

                                                                                                                

I followed step by step and it was quite simple.. my favorite color was I think blue cause the mixture was looking so pretty and shiny.

I am quite satisfied as it was my first time making macaroons but I guess ill do better in my second time so I am really looking forward to my second time. :) 




Tiramisu by Laura Vitale 
On the 24th of October, I made my first dish for the project which was Tiramisu by Laura Vitale. It was not the first time I made Tiramisu but it was the first time I used a different method. The difference in them was that this one needed no eggs while the other one contains eggs.


 I just wanted to try a new method and recipe but It did not really work well. I did not have the proper base ingredients. Well, it was worth a try. The texture was a little off and it was too creamy.
