Spanish names for specific cookies and pastries

Question

I would like to know the Spanish word for a macaroon cookie. I would also like to know if there is a website or a good book, pamphlet or list that provides the English and Spanish names of pastries and cookies.

Answer 1

Hola DaCRoN!

WOW!!! Thank you very much. I also really like the other links you supplied me with about just about every aspect of Spanish. After spending numerous hours on the internet and at Amazon.com, I still have been unable to find a good website or book that has comprehensive information in relation to correctly translating mental health terminology from English to Spanish. A few medical books, pamphlets and websites have a few basic translations, but that is it. Any help that you can provide in this area would be greatly appreciated.

Warren

P.S. I'm also going to post this request under Discussion since this is under cookies and pastries.

Answer 3

Hola DaCRoN,

You are correct. Almendrados is another way to say macaroon cookies. My Mexican friends and the pastry shop employee in Oakland, like macarron.

The dessert and recipes sites are great that you posted. ¡Muchisimas gracias!

Warren

Answer 4

macaroon cookies= almendrados

Answer 5

It worked! I went to my favorite mexican pastry shop. I said, 'Quisiera comprar un macarron.? The young woman responded, "Uno'" I replied, "Si." She smiled, and I smiled for two reasons--becuase I didn't have to point, and because the macaroon was--Que rico!

Answer 6

Hola Eddy,

¡Muchisimas gracias!Your definitions are right on target. I looked up the Spanish words you provided me with for macaroon online and in various dictionaries. ¡Tiene razon! I'm looking forward to going to my favorite Mexican pastry store, and ordering macaroon cookies in Spanish instead of pointing. I will say, 'Quisiera comprar un macarron.? I'm only going to buy only one because they are very fattening, but very delicious.

The following is a site defining what a macaroon is: http://www.britannica.com/eb/article-9049613/macaroon

Answer 7

hola heidita
acabo de mirar macarrón en la parte de español, todavia en Collins, y aquí dice macarrón de almendras.
como interes, tambien dice un macarrón es "a bulwark or a stanchion". definitivamente, no se puede cocinar con estos.

Answer 8

hola heidita
lo siento si me equivoco en la traducción. solo miré en el diccionario "collins" y debajo de la palabra Macaroon, dice macarrón. Bloody Stupid Collins.

Answer 9

Hi Eddy, what is a macarrón'?

Ahhhhh, my husband says: un canutillo!!!!!!!! WE don't use the word macarrón for sweets, it might be used elsewhere though. Here we would understand a cover for cables by macarrón.

http://www.rescoweb.com/fotos/rc/canutillo.gif

Or barquillos, very typical for MAdrid

Answer 10

Answer 11
