Macarons Vol. 2 - Sugar Life

Macarons by Sugar Life vol. 2 is the follow-up to the first volume published in 2023.

While the first one contained lots of practical tips on how to bake macaron shells and what to do with failed pieces, the second volume focuses on a variety of fillings and less typical flavour combinations.

But we'll start here with the basics - a recipe for Swiss-style macaroon shells. The introduction also includes a graphical representation of the possibilities of filling macaroons. So if you're missing the first book at home, you can still make macaroons. For those who, on the other hand, have the first volume, Macarons by Sugar Life vol. 2 brings even more inspiration for original fillings. The core of the book consists of recipes for more than 30 flavours that did not fit in the first volume.

Among them you will find unusual combinations such as chestnut with currant, blackcurrant caramel with gingerbread or walnut croissant. This time, too, the bilingual text is accompanied by a series of colourful photographs. At the end, you will find a chapter on recipe annexes. The ingredients you prepare according to these recipes are then used for the individual fillings.

So who is the book for? To those who already have the first volume and would welcome a new dose of inspiration for original and novel macaron fillings. Even those who do not own the first volume will enjoy the book - it contains all the important information for successful macro filling.

Unlike the first volume, which included a full theory including QR codes with instructional videos, it doesn't go into as much detail.
