Lauren Jauregui was someone who definitely believed in the power of fate.
So it definitely wasn't a coincidence, then, that her true love happened to walk into her bakery one dreary Wednesday.

Meringues: they're basically these cookies that taste like the Lucky Charms marshmallows, and is often associated with the French baking technique (made of caster sugar being beaten into egg whites), but there are variations of the recipe (such as Italian and Swiss meringues). They can be tricky to make due to the fact that egg whites in general are very temperamental (why else are macaroons assholes to make?) and has to be watched rather consistently. Once you master the basic meringue, though, there's a lot of room to experiment and play with flavours, colors, and even the shape of the meringue.
(Or, if you're busy, you can buy them at Trader Joe's for like $4 a box)

^ this is the most classic shape for a meringue, but home bakers often go for the second one because shaping is hard
Bonus: Some French bread slippers were mentioned in one of the chapters of this book, and both Lauren and Zayn have a pair:
