There is a widespread misconception that macrons and macaroons are the same thing but some prefer to add an extra “o” to the spelling. Well, that is definitely not the case. Macrons are the colorful deserts that you must have seen in the windows of many French cafes. They are meringue-based treats made from almond flour, egg whites, and sugar. In the middle goes a flavored ganache encrusted with cookies on both sides giving them a vibrant pop of color. They make a perfect snack for a high tea. The macrons on the other hand are dense cookies that have shredded coconut as their main ingredient. They are round and have a very rich flavor to them. So, next time if someone tries to tell you that they are the same thing you can show off your French cuisine knowledge.

As surprising as it may sound the world-famous snack, croissant has its origins in Austria. There are many legends that explain the coming of croissants to France and becoming the most liked dessert.

The other legend says that a baker from Austria baked it in a Parisian cafe and it was loved by everyone so much that it became a French staple.
