What are Macarons? Are they like macarOOns?


Macarons are a popular dessert pastry which resembles a brightly colored, mini hamburger.  The outer shells are almond and meringue base cookies.  After baking, these colorful shells are then filled with delicious preserves, chocolate ganache, frostings and caramels.  Macarons are most readily found in France and Italy where they originate, but can also be found in a growing number of other countries across Europe and beyond, including Japan and Australia and now North America. 

They are nothing like their chewy, coconut cousins.

Happy St. Valentine's Day

with love from our friend Jason Deehr

Another Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's to all of our friends, from Les Mesdames.
 
To celebrate, a limited supply of sweet treats are available for sale at Gustare Oils & Vinegars in Mashpee Commons.  Macarons are packaged in clear cellophane bags with red, pink and purple ribbons.  Each bag holds 3 macarons and costs $5.  This sale begins on Wednesday, February 13th after 11am.
 
This is a special, discounted price, only available while supplies last, and only available at Gustare Oils & Vinegars in Mashpee.  The lovely staff at Gustare will not hold macarons for you--they are doing Les Mesdames a favor by letting us sell macarons there, you must do them the favor of showing up in person (preferably with cash for payment) to get your last-minute Valentine's macarons.
 
Flavors include purple raspberry, red velvet, white chocolate rose, and double chocolate.
 
If you have any questions, please email Mesdames.des.macarons@gmail.com
 Merci! and Happy St. Valentine's Day!
