Bearhug0127: Maybe MM is a big fan of Michael Jackson too and is in mourning just like me.

MM, you must be really busy or out of town or does not have access to the net. Your silence is deafening….Waiting for new posts…….

Hi MM,

I don’t know if you are still in New York, but if you are, and you love macarons…. you must check out a little chocolatier in Soho who makes some beautiful ones. It’s Kee’s Chocolates, on Thompson Street between Spring and Broome. Closest subway is C or E to Spring.

Kee is an entrepreneur that started in exquisite hand-crafted chocolates and is now making delicates macarons. She is Asian and her macarons reflect those flavors. My favorite by far is a rosewater-lychee one. Heaven. She also has black sesame and pineapple-papaya.

Enjoy!

Maria Clara: That moisture eater device is cool. Hope I can find one here. Actually, I need to keep it in the fridge because of the buttercream filling but I let it sit for a while until it reaches room temp. before eating because it does not taste good straight from the fridge. Thanks for the suggestion.

Lilibeth: If you keep them in an airtight container like tupperware or tin cans they taste much better than ones kept in the fridge. I used to have a moisture eater device that a friend got for me but unfortunate things happened when I had some house guests and they thought they were used lightbulbs and were thrown away. They look like lightbulbs (like paperweight glass) that you either left it out in the sun to absorb all the heat or in the oven and keep them in a tin container with macarons or potato chips and they will stay fresh. It came from France but I could not find it.

Maria Clara: They actually taste better the next day and based on some recipes I got in the internet, you should actually let it sit one day in the refrigerator to allow the flavors to meld and you’re right, the texture is even better – smooth. Of course no one can really resist eating it immediately so I make a big batch, half of it gets devoured immediately and half goes to the fridge.

MM, I hope this isn’t your last macaron post and that you saved room for Pierre Herme…
