Peach Tart
August 13, 2014
Basic tart recipe – I will attempt to be detailed enough for people who don’t just know how to make a tart. I like a challenge. This recipe makes enough for two 8 inch tarts.

February 11, 2013
Chocolate pots de crème are similar to creme brulee, in that they are baked custard. Careful not to over bake them, since that makes them quite icky. This would be a great Valentine’s Day recipe, that you can make at home, and spare all the folks in restaurants who are totally slammed, and you can avoid […]
