I haven’t shared a recipe for a while, but GiadaM invited me to participate in a recipe exchange (so I am hoping to get 36 new recipes to try out—when I’ve finished Wall2, of course!) and I thought, why not share my recipe choice here as well.<\/p>\n

(Remembering that Christmas-New Year in the southern hemisphere is summer solstice, not winter) I find these rosewater macaroon cakes go down a treat as Christmas fare—and are really easy to prepare as well.<\/p>\n

One way I like to serve the macaroons is on a plate that has been dusted with dried rose petals, but a\u00a0 little bit of decoration with pansies or lavender works really well, too. Try using a coloured plate for styling effect—blue is great, although clear glass is very effective as well.<\/p>\n
