🤤 In-N-Out's Flying Dutchman Turns Aussie
Plus: Avoid every rookie mistake by following these helpful macaron tips 👩🍳
Happy Saturday, TastyOz fam! I hope you’ve all had a fun week.
Not to be dramatic, but I think I’ve officially become one with my puffer jacket. Between the rain, the early morning fog, and my extremely questionable heater, I’ve been living off endless cups of tea and rotating through every soup recipe I know. If you’re freezing like me and down for a hot drink and snack, check out my hot chocolate cob loaf — it’s quick, warm, melty, and honestly? Life-changing. 11/10, would recommend.
Over here in TastyOz land, the kitchen’s been buzzing as usual. I’ve been cooking, shooting, and editing non-stop. Meanwhile, Wilko’s gone full fast food fusion mode (you’ll see what I mean), and we may or may not have turned garlic bread into something even more snackable. Also, Caramello Koala in a jaffle? Yes, it’s as chaotic and delicious as it sounds.
More on all that below — scroll down and prepare to get hungry!
See you all next week,

The Most Useful Hacks For Making Perfect Macarons At Home
Use Room Temp Egg WhitesLet the eggs come to room temperature for at least 30 minutes before you start. This helps create a fluffier, airier meringue. Another tip: the quickest and easiest way to separate the whites is simply to gently scoop up the yolks with your fingers. | ![]() |
Use A Food ProcessorYou want your dry ingredients to be really fine for a smooth, even cookie top. The best way to do this is by adding them to a food processor and pulsing at least ten times to get them extra fine. If you don’t have one, no stress — just make sure to thoroughly sift the mixture a few times. | ![]() |
Do Not OvermixAdd a third of the dry ingredients to the meringue at a time, and begin folding them together. Don’t be afraid to be firm, as you’ll want to beat out the air bubbles. You’ll know you’re done folding when you can lift your spatula and draw a figure 8 with the batter without it breaking. | ![]() |
Rest Piped Batter For 1 HourBefore baking, let your piped batter rest for one hour until the tops flatten and stiffen. They’re ready when you can gently touch them without leaving an indentation. If you skip this step, your macarons won’t rise properly or develop their classic “feet”. | ![]() |
Rest For Another 24 HoursAfter your cookies are done baking, take them out and let them rest for 30 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely and whip up your buttercream in the meatime. After assembling your macarons, wait at least 24 hours before eating. This allows them to develop a better texture and flavour! | ![]() |
