Take a trip down under...well...via a few Aussie sweets. Amy and Beth discuss a couple of their favorite Aussie desserts, being inspired to bake a few sweets outside of their usual baking repertoire, making curd and a few places to check out in the States and Down Under.

It's a quintessential American cookie and everyone has a favorite way they are made. The original Chocolate Chip Cookie is attributed to Ruth Graves Wakefield and Susan Brides from the Toll House Inn in Massachusetts. A simple recipe, that can be easily altered to suit your particular taste. We prefer ours slightly crispy on the outside and chewy in the inside and with lots of chocolate and other kinds of chips. Baya prefers hers with Semi-sweet Chocolate, Milk Chocolate, Butterscotch and White Chocolate. Amy prefers hers with coconut, maple syrup and walnuts, Beth with slabs of chocolate or mini chocolate chips...make up your mind...Bepps.  Listen in for a bit of discombobulated history and how to make some a perfect batch of chocolate chips cookies just for you.

You say macaron. I say macaroon. Whether you use one or two "os" when speaking about these sandwich cookies, no matter. They are still tasty and need a little TLC when learning to make them. In honor of Bastille day and their favorite cookies, Beth and Amy discuss a few pointers on making these sweet meringue sandwich cookies, share their recipes and some of their favorite fillings (traditional and non-traditional). Listen in to hear some favorite places to pick up some sweet macarons in the United States and beyond as well as some how tos. Bon chance!

Stay tuned for a few pointers, stories, travel tips and recipes...
