Photo by Kimberley Hasselbrink Lately, I have been thinking a lot about ease. I’m in the middle of writing and photographing my first cookbook, and very little about that process is easy. Which is okay — I knew, going into it, that it would be full of challenges. This leads me, in my non-cookbook cooking pursuits, to find the simplest of recipes little victories that remind me what it feels like to work in the kitchen with ease. And macaroons might just be the queens of easy in the baking department. It is the stuff of magic when all it takes is three ingredients to create tiny, edible sculptures that are whimsical and quirky and as fun to make and look at as they are to eat. The soft fragrance of Meyer lemon is a little touch of fairy dust on top — it’s quiet and subtle but lends a welcome twist. I think that grapefruit or orange zest would work equally well.
