Pistachio Macaroons


These are the macaroons that I made from Nigella's Domestic Goddess book using pistachios instead of ground almonds- the texture was good but think that they could have had more flavour - perhaps next time I would make a different flavour filling instead of pistachio-coffee or vanilla might be good. They look pretty on your Gran's old "summertime" plate- don't they...

  1. these look really yummy, I bought some ground almonds last week to make some myself, I think I'll have to get a move on making them while the almonds are still fresh!

  2. Very cute! I haven't tried making macaroons yet because a lot of people haven't had much luck making them. What recipe did you use?

  3. Thanks- I used the recipe from Nigella Lawson's book- Domestic Goddess- have since made chocolate macaroons from a recipe I found on the internet and they were much nicer.
