The history of macaroons is a long and winding one, dating back to the Middle Ages. The first macaroons were made in Italy, and were originally called "maccheroni". These early macaroons were made with a mixture of almond paste, sugar, and egg whites, and were often flavored with rose water or orange blossom water. Over time, macaroons spread to other parts of Europe, and eventually to the Americas. Today, there are many different variations of macaroons, but the basic ingredients remain the same: almond paste, sugar, and egg whites. These Ginger Turmeric Macaroons are a modern twist on the classic macaroon, and they're sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
