This is the original Solo almond paste recipe that they don't have on their website anymore. It's the best--have been making it for years and years. Simple to make using food processor. Egg whites (as they come out of egg) are added in after almond paste and sugar are combined together. If serving more than one day after making, then you may want to freeze them. They defrost quickly and retain the chew. -
fabulous and simple! other recipes require lots of fussy work, and these are fool proof!

I live in Chattanooga with my daughter. I work at a used bookstore, and I love to read pretty much everything, especially cookbooks. Some of my favorite cookbooks are those of Nigel Slater, Barbara Kafka, Thomas Keller, and Nigella Lawson, plus the Moosewood series. I think perhaps my biggest pet peeve is food snobbery, and indeed snobbery in general. I love trying new things so much that I rarely make the same dish twice.
Oh, a big thank you to all who have reviewed my stuff recently. I am currently without premium membership and unable to tell you so on an individual basis.
