Recipes
Sour Cherry Tart
Since red fruits have always been her favorite, I made this Sour Cherry Tart for my mother’s birthday. She’s the person who always picks out the red gummy bears leaving the other colors behind.
Red Currant Bread with Almond Streusel
I spent my end of summer vacation in Burgundy, and was lucky enough to catch the end of the wild currants growing in my mother’s yard. They flourish somehow, even though they’re left untouched for a good part of the year.
Truffled Apples with Honey, Currants and Walnuts
I have always been a fan of truffled honey on a cheese plate. I think it’s the delicate play between savory and sweet that is so enjoyable. However, I had never quite experienced the pairing of truffles, honey and apples until the night of my dinner at Terraza del Casino in Madrid.
Strawberry-Rose Almond Milk Smoothie
If I were a musician, this might be my farewell Ode to summer. A classic ode is in three parts: the strophe, antistrophe and epode. In other words soaking the almonds, composing everything (such as the blending the straining the sprinkling of rose petals), and finally the enjoyment.
