Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like meeting new people, discussing about what we do, like or know. I want to exchange with the host, learning about their culture and habits, and also practicing languages (currently I am trying to practice my russian). I am also willing to discover the surroundings with a local. Looking forward to meeting you!

[The origin of the macaron]

Originally, macarons started in Italy as simple cookies made of sugar, almond powder, and egg whites. Catherine de Medicis brought them to France with her marriage to King Henry II in 1533.

At the dawn of the 20th century, the grandson of Louis Ernest Laduree (of Laduree pastries), Pierre Desfontaines, had the idea to stick the cookie together with a chocolate ganache. Ladurée popularized the modern macaron, making it an icon of Paris. Numerous more variations were born as French chefs went on to develop their own recipes.
