Old-Fashioned Macarons (Macarons a l'ancienne) Recipe with Marc & Chef Mel

When Chef Mel said she wanted to show me how to make Old-Fashioned Macaroons, I was instantly in! These classic macaroons are surprisingly easier to make than their French counterparts.

Plus, I’ve tried them in France at Maison Adam, and they were delicious.
Here’s her recipe - I highly suggest you give them a try.
