Origin

This is my french-leaning version, built around the ingredients and method that give the recipe its character.

Fun Fact

Macaroons and macarons are different desserts. One letter carries an absurd amount of culinary responsibility.

Notes

Taste before the final adjustment. A recipe should guide dinner, not bully it. If it needs a little more acid, sweetness, salt or heat, make the change in small steps instead of launching the whole spice rack into orbit.

Substitutions

Use equivalent ingredients where needed for allergies or availability, but keep the main sweet/sour/salty/spicy balance intact. This is cooking, not a hostage negotiation.

Storage

Cool leftovers promptly and refrigerate in a covered container for up to 3 days. Keep fresh garnishes separate where practical.

Freezing

Freeze cooked components in airtight meal-sized portions for up to 2–3 months where practical. Fresh vegetables, dairy sauces and crunchy toppings are usually better added after thawing.
