Did not get past the meringue part. The instructions given are not detailed enough with regard to the egg white whipping and sugar adding, extremely easy to go wrong. I ended up with a runny meringue after following the exact recipe mentioned. Kindly be a little more specific when it comes to extensive techniques...Add little tips/notes to help get it on point.

Macaroons were great. one tip is to make sure the cashew is all grounded nicely as it gets stuck while piping. The taste was amazing. if you are an adult, u can reduce a bit of sugar. it was very sweet.
