Food For Thought Thursdays: Honey & Vanilla Chai Macarons with Chocolate Ganache

I have to thank Richmond's own, Veronica Perez of Petites Bouchees for introducing me to macarons. The chewy texture, the melt in your mouth creamy filling...truly exquisite ingredients make them so special. I came across Ellie's blog, Almost Bourdain and fell in love with her Honey & Vanilla Chai Macarons. While I'm no pastry chef, amateur or not, maybe I can talk Veronica into trying a new flavor. Hmmm....
