Name: St-Jean de Luz Macarons

Since I’ve had the chance to eat delicious gluten free macarons last summer, my desert-oriented brain started looking for macarons recipes!! I found a recipe of St-Jean de Luz Macarons. Long story short, these macarons are from the Basque Country and are as old as Louis XIV… and mostly, they are worth a try as they taste different than «regular» macarons. And interesting info: these macarons are called «muxuk» in Basque, which means «kisses»!! 😉
