Macarons by Sugar Life - Vlad Ryasnyy

Macarons by Sugar Life is an interactive pastry monothematic book dedicated to the world-famous dessert macarons.

The book contains all the know-how about macarons. You will learn how to properly prepare the nutty dough (macaronade) using different methods (Italian, French, Swiss or with lower sugar).

You will learn the different flavouring options as well as the best way to bake and store macarons. You will discover how different dough textures and processing of dry ingredients can affect the result. There is no shortage of history with the original recipe, or solutions on what to do with failed shells.

The macaron fillings are divided into chapters on Ganache, Confiture and fruity inserts, Caramel, Buttercream, Whipped Ganache, Ice Cream, and Annex Recipes. Thanks to the book, you can prepare both classic small macarons and cakes or monoportions suitable for pastry shops or at home as a dessert. The Ganache chapter and its recipes are divided into further subchapters: Basic, Nutty, Aromatized, Fruits with Chocolate, Fruity, Cheesy, Alcoholic, Specific and last but not least the original MAC-KUKI collection with a recipe for gluten-free almond sablé. Each type of filling contains a full theory, which is complemented by basic information about the ingredients (chocolates, gelling agents, sugars, ...) and the principle of preparation to understand the processing of each ingredient and procedure.

All the recipes are detailed and enriched with cut-outs, names of moulds and pastry nozzles, numbers of pieces and QR codes that link to videos giving an insight into the process.
