Chocolate Cherry Tart (Jeff)

The basic pastry cream tart recipe from Memorial Day weekend, but with cocoa powder added to the crust and pastry cream filling for a double hit of chocolate. The cherries were simmered in a combination of Port and Sherry with freshly grated nutmeg.

    Everything about this is perfection! Those cherries look divine! Chocolate and cherries are a classic combination for a reason. And the presentation, with the tablecloth and the flowers... is that lavender? I live!

Berry Tarts

I've had this recipe for several years and finally got around to making these Memorial Day weekend. Vanilla pastry cream in a sweet pastry crust. Then topped with apricots lightly sauteed in butter and apricot preserves with blueberries added. Next up is chocolate pastry cream in a chocolate pastry crust with fresh raspberries. Then when local peaches are here it'll be time to try the peach thyme tart variation.  This time of year is perfect for do many foods!

Date filled sticky buns (Jeff)

This recipe graces the cover of April's Bon Appetit. It's made in a food processor which makes it a snap and really fun to put together. The dough does an over-night slow rise in the frig, perfect for a weekend brunch. I made it a second time using the dough base and substituting pesto, parmesan and prosciutto for a savory filling.
