2004 Edition
“The secret of the Sisters’ Macaroons (small round biscuits based on almonds, finely cracked and very soft inside) has been passed down since the 18th century.

Stroll in France, Nancy, The renaissance of Art Nouveau
“Three sites not to be missed: Beaux-Arts Museum, La Maison des Soeurs Macarons, Montet Botanical Gardens” Extract: "...............the macaroon is a small round biscuit, finely cracked and soft inside, invented at the end of the 18th century by two Benedictine nuns from the community of Dames du Saint Sacrement de Nancy. Their recipe? A secret that is only passed on by word of mouth. Nicolas Génot guards it so well that no-one is allowed to see him make his macaroons!" -

The Macaroon, the weapon of mass taste
Extract: “........to be precise, this macaroon war started on 24 September 1997.

To be savoured, just like the Nancy Bergamot sweets, the Perles de Lorraine (fruit jellies with a mirabelle plum brandy centre), the King’s babas or the Florentine des Soeurs ... " -

Issue 6 “Holiday Memories"
" In Nancy, Mr and Mrs GENOT are therefore the (indirect) heirs of the nuns known as the ‘Soeurs Macarons’ (Macaroon Sisters). Under this so-tempting banner they sell - of course - the delicious almond pastries, prepared faithfully in the traditional way (using almonds, sugar and egg whites), and also many other delicacies. > In particular, traditional ‘bergamotes’ (boiled sweets flavoured with bergamot), as well as fruit jellies with bergamot, absolutely remarkable for the intensity and freshness of their aroma and their acidulated flavour, and plenty of other sweet treats ..." -
