Pistachio Macarons

Todays efforts went into making pistachio macarons. I've not tried making the shells with different nuts before.

I used a blend of pistachio and almond for the mixture, love the soft green colour they have turned out which is all natural. The filling was a buttercream with pistachio paste which I bought from Sous Chef.

Really pleased with how they've turned out considering I was making it up as I went along.

In 2015 I made it through to the last 50 in the last audition of The Great British Bake Off. Sadly I wasn't chosen for the programme but I need to carry on my journey as I can't imagine my life without baking.

I'd love to start writing my own recipes. So what better place to do it than starting a blog.
