Get Mitzy's Macarons This Weekend at the Brooklyn Flea Market
- Macarons, yay!
Mitzy has been generously donating delicious macarons and other goodies to me and the Serious Eats office for the past few months as her "macaron taste testers." (Adam refers to her as our macaron dealer.) What a hard task she had given us. Oh yes.
Back in September when I wrote about why her macarons are the best in the city you couldn't actually buy them, but New Yorkers can finally get them this Sunday at the Brooklyn Flea Market! Mitzy (and helper Kathy) will be at the market, which runs from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., selling and giving out free samples. I plan on stopping by too. Support Mitzy; this city needs better macarons and she's one of the sweetest people you'll ever meet.

mmmmm.....must...eat...your...pictures....
best macarons I ever had were from Lindt & Spruengli in central Zurich - good enough to smuggle small suitcases full like some kind of delicious confectionary contraband.
To best enjoy a good macaron, eat for dessert after a hamburger. That way, you get to pretend that you have grown into a giant between courses...

Just by the look of these cookies I totally believe you. UFOs of yumminess! What does it take to be a macaron tester? I'd love to be abducted ;)

Jane: I make frequent use of the Homer Drool sound.
Julie: It's a yuppie flea market, yay!!
The Inscrutable Chicken: Zurich..HERE I COME!
G: Set up a blog and advertise that you've eaten way too many Pierre Herme macarons. Voila, you're hired.
Danny: I think they'll be $2.50, or around there. Sounds kind of high but in my knowledge of the macaron market, it's fairly priced. ;)
Robyn:
Have you seen this necklace yet? You needs to buyz it. You can haz manatee.
Robyn: hmm.. The G Who Ate Everything ;) Sounds familiar!

I tried making macarons for Christmas gifts last year...and then I realized their one of those things that you should just buy. Like anything deep fried.
You can see my trials and errors here!

I mentioned you and your macaron filled entries to a friend who had spent a year studying in France without ever trying one. Next time I saw her, she was a macaron addict and brought me my first ever taste of a macaron. What goes around comes around..? Ehn. Kinda.
