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.

Apricot Tart

Hello everyone!

It's pie season again! I have to confess that I have been thinking about pies for a while now. And although this recipe is not exactly a pie (in fact, it's a tart) the directions are fairly similar.



You may think it's a little bit complicated just by the looks of it. It's not. Really, once you have made the pie crust, it's a matter of ten minutes to assemble this beauty.



It's slightly juicy but not messy at all, in fact, as you can see in the photo below, you can slice it very neatly!

Rustic Pear and Blackberry Tart

Hello everyone!

Today's recipe is another easy one. It involves pears and blackberries and brown sugar and not much more. Really easy.


In fact, you don't even need a tart mold.



It's sweet but not sickly sweet, it's the perfect dessert after a big meal.

And they may look complicated but I can assure you that they are not. At all. And they are really good!


Here's the recipe...

White Chocolate Tart with Fresh Berries

Hello everyone!

Today's recipe can be done in little time and gives really good results. Some days ago I started seeing fresh berries (raspberries, blackberries, blueberries and currants) in the supermarket. They are sold in tiny little boxes and are pricey but they look so appetizing that I couldn't resist!




I love to bake with berries because I love the way their acidity contrasts with the sweetness of the cakes. However, if I can buy them fresh, I'd rather not bake them in order to preserve their freshness.




That's why I was thrilled when I found this recipe in Simply Delicious. She bakes tartelettes in her recipe but I did not have the time to do them so I did a normal sized tart instead. 



And it was delicious! It's fresh, smooth and tremendously light; just perfect for a summer afternoon.
