Type: Baking
Crostata Romana
My friend Solé first made this with me when she first came to Australia from Rome. It is a classic jam tart with the a delicious biscuity pastry that is perfect served Italian-style with a good espresso.
Raspberry Clafoutis
This clafoutis is based on a traditional French recipe from my friend’s Grand-Mère Lucie. It is usually made with whole cherries, no need to pit them, but I only had raspberries available when I first made it. Best served straight from the oven, while still warm!
Nutella Mezza Lune (Sweet Ravioli)
The recipe for these little biscuity half-mooon turnovers comes from my Italian friend Solé who was visiting from Rome. You won’t be able to stop at one!
Quince and Almond Crostata
When quinces appear in Autumn, my heart cries out for slowly cooking them to ruby redness so they can be made into this crisp crostata.
Banana Bread with Maple Butter
This simple to make banana bread is extra delicious with a spread of spiced maple butter.
