    Hello Chef, what is the proportion between icing sugar and vanilla powder for the icing mixture?

      This can be determined by tasting. Also, it is important to know which kind of vanilla powder is available for your use. Some vanilla powders are very strong and can not be used too much for health reasons.

    Hello chef, thank you for a great recipe. I made 2 loaves and they were great. I was wondering if you had a recipe for Macaroons, I’ve tried few different ones, but none so far have been very consistent in final result.
    Thank you very much in advance.
