Nectarine and Raspberry Tart

Hello everyone!

If last recipe was induced by the amazing raspberries I collected in an orchad, this one comes from the fact that I got a crate full of nectarines. Perfectly juicy and big, and lots and lots of them.



In fact, they are so big that I only used two of them to make this tart!



The sweetness of the fruit is obvious in the tart and, in each bite, you will taste the intense nectarine flavour.

Mini White Chocolate Tartlets with Raspberries

Hello everyone!

I don't know if I had already told you, but for the next 2 months I will be living in the Catalan Pyrenees instead of Barcelona. Being here implies having a little less time for posting but, on the other hand, I have access to a fantastic orchard that has some amazing raspberries.


So, yesterday, I braved the unforgiving sun and I convinced my sister to go gather some raspberries. The berries were warmed by the sun and they practically fell into your fingers, staining them with their juice.


These tartlets are soft and light, fresh and perfect for the summer. Pair them with a cold glass of cava and enjoy them in the afternoon breeze.

Marbled Chocolate Cheesecake

Hello everyone!

I must confess that, hadn't it been for the surprise party of two of my friends (to which I was supposed to bring dessert) there would not have been any recipe to publish today. It is sooooo hot in here and, truth is, I had ZERO intentions of getting anywhere near an oven.



In this awful heat, a cheesecake seemed to be the wisest option. Nothing too heavy, or with a frosting that could melt easily. However, I had already published a cheesecake recipe so I had to innovate a little bit. Hence the Marbled Chocolate Cheesecake!!!



It was a risk to do it just a day before the party (specially since I had never tried this recipe and I hadn't looked at any other similar recipe) but it turned out pretty great. Also, I'm sorry about the quality of these photographs but they were taken minutes before the cake was devoured!
