Recently on Cooking the Books we had “A Visit from the Macaroon Squad” with “A Visit From The Goon Squad” author Jennifer Egan. We talked about how, when you’re reading a book with many characters and plotlines and worlds, you’re sometimes “waiting for your favorite.” One of the reasons why AVFTGS is such a remarkable book is that you’re never tempted to skim for the reappearance of a character you’d liked, but when that character does eventually reappear it’s unexpected, yet makes perfect sense. Also, this is a book that made me cry via a description of public oral sex.
Anyway, this video will teach you how to make macaroons.
Also please note the new opening credits sequence! Cooking the Books Season 2!
I can’t get over how much I like everything Jennifer Egan says in this episode. I want to hang out and dwell on shame memories and eat baked goods with her.
