Jour du Macaron 2010

Tomorrow, Saturday, March 20th, participating NYC bakeries/patisseries will be handing out free macarons! What are macarons, you say? Oh, just little crispy, crack-filled cookies you’re sure to love. Stop by one of the participating shops, buy a box, and get your freebie for the road, because a portion of the sales will go to City Harvest. Find out more here.

If you’re interested in making them at home, you must have a death wish because they look really difficult to nail. I’m more of a savory-style cook than a baker so I find these particularly intimidating. But if you’ve got the will, here’s the way, courtesy of Serious Eats.
