  • Tomato Zucchini Galette with Goat Cheese, Honey, Caramelized Shallots and Thyme

    Tomato Zucchini Galette with Goat Cheese

    August 28, 2018 /

    “A pie is homey. A tart is fancy. And a galette splits the difference, but is easier than either one.” – Melissa Clark, The New York Times. Galettes are that perfect dish, resting halfway between rustic and refined, and this particular galette is just bursting with flavor. The tangy tomatoes and goat cheese are offset by the sweet honey and caramelized shallots, while the thyme takes it over the top. And roasting the vegetables first adds yet another layer of deliciousness.

    Best-Ever Deep-Dish Blueberry Pie

    If you wish to make a … pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe. – Carl Sagan. This post was originally going to be for cake. That’s right – delicious, delectable cake. But woe is me – neither my lemon bundt cake nor my layer cake was remotely edible worked out, so I decided to focus on pie. Because if cakes are my Achilles’ heel, pies would be my forte.

    Fabulous French Fruit Tart

    August 6, 2018 /

    The Queen of Hearts she made some tarts, All on a summer’s day; The Knave of Hearts he stole the tarts, And took them clean away. The King of Hearts called for the tarts, And beat the Knave full sore. The Knave of Hearts brought back the tarts, And vowed he’d steal no more. – Nursery Rhyme.
