This tartlet combines classic flavors and works well as either an appetizer or a side dish.
Basic Savory Pastry
This a simple recipe for savory pastry dough. Use this dough for savory quiches, tarts, or meat pies. See below the recipe for one of my staple savory pastry side dishes.
Bourbon Pecan Pie
I first made this pie for a Christmas party. But fans of pecans, pie — and bourbon! — will enjoy this recipe any time of the year. For a little something special, melt a bit of chocolate and lightly drizzle it over the completed, cool pie.
Seasonal Fruit Galette
Not a pastry chef? Not a problem. Galette is just a fancy French word for a “freeform” pastry — aka rustic. So this recipe is perfect for that imperfect pastry dough that just won’t fit a form.
Use any fresh fruits that are in season. The one listed below uses mango and strawberries for a fantastic late summer treat.
Perfect Pastry
I love to make pastry. I love the way it feels in my fingers when I’m working with the dough. I love the way, when done properly, it forms the best kind of play-dough I’ve ever played with.
