Mademoiselle Macaron, Edinburgh

摘要

Rachel Hanretty - aka Mademoiselle Macaron's chief mademoiselle (right) - spent a year in Paris where she learned her craft. In 2013, Mademoiselle Macaron was born and now produces between 6,000 and 10,000 macarons a week in a variety of flavours from best-selling salted caramel to rose or gin. She attributes the rise in popularity of macarons to Pierre Herme, who opened boutiques in Paris in 2001 as well as the international expansion of Laduree, which now has six shops in London including sites in Covent Garden, Westfield and in Harrods. But for Hanretty, it was the way she saw the French treat macarons that drew her in.
