Hi Duncan, thanks for confirming the coffee / cocoa. I have now given the passionfruit macarons a try. (Just posted it.) They are not as shiny and glossy as yours but hopefully with a little more practice….

Thanh and Duncan : I saw it in Essential Ingredient, next to the usual lemon, orange etc oils. Used for cooking, I gather, as it was in the cake decorating/chocolate aisle.

@Julia: from memory the shell is coloured with liquid coffee. I think the fleck is just cocoa.

Hi Duncan, I'm loving your macaron flavours. Funny, I actually was given some home-grown passionfruit yesterday and I was searching last night for some flavour combinations. I was reminded of the PH passionfruit / chocolate combo in my Google travels. Now seeing this, I am definitely keen to give it a try. But question – the PH shell is more yellow with a chocolate fleck. Do you know if that's just cocoa?

Thanks everyone!
@Y: where've you seen violet oil? I'm fascinated…
@vida: hmmm… you can drop me an email if you want
@TW: thanks again! I've resisted the temptation of going down the colour-play path until recently. I suspect that's yet another path of distraction

Cindy, I can confirm that not only did they look stunning, they tasted it too.

I thought the violet ones were quite strong in flavour Duncan. Although I love the violet flavouring the most, the peach one was a very very close second as you know my fondness for all things peach.

Y, can you tell me where to buy the violet oil. Is this oil for use in cooking or for aromatherapy only?

Duncan, they look stunning and I'm very regretful that I missed them. There was nothing this delicately prepared and flavoured at the music festival!
