Nice blog you got right here... I enjoyed reading your posts. I'm sure I'll visit here more often. Anyway, if you are interested, you can take a look at these amazing French macaroons and Almond macaroon cookies I've been trying to make.. It's very hard though... :) If you know how to make these, maybe you could give me some tips. Thanks!

This is a wonderful recipe. I normally use Korean sweet chili paste with tamarind paste to get create this paste. Your version is better, fresh and less preservative.
