Caramel Apple Cheesecake Crostata
Julie | November 27, 2010
The November 2010 Daring Bakers challenge was making pasta frolla for a crostata; I chose to use it to make a caramel apple cheesecake tart for Thanksgiving.
Oscar Does Pie Crust
Julie | October 5, 2010
Classic pumpkin pie with a not-so-classic crust: pâte brisée made using sourdough starter!
Beet Greens Crostata
Julie | September 18, 2010
A savory crostata of ricotta and Parmesan cheeses, sauteed beet greens and leeks, and a rustic, flaky crust.
Tuna Corks and Apple Tourtes
Julie | September 8, 2010
Tuna corks with shredded carrot salad, and a svelte apple tart for dessert—a French-style dinner perfect for the transition to fall.
Hot Pockets
Julie | June 24, 2010
Leftover roasted chicken is mixed with Latino spices and an offbeat combination of dates and capers in a satisfying filling for flaky baked empanadas.
Mess o’ Greens Revisited
admin | June 18, 2010
A nutty quinoa-rosemary tart crust encloses a colorful, piquant filling of turnip greens. I paired this elegant vegetarian pastry with tangy-sweet barbecue pork, made with homemade sauce and redeemed from a disappointing grilled recipe.
Chicken Mug-Pies
Julie | September 30, 2009
These homemade chicken potpies, served in individual mugs, are creamy, filling and adaptable. The parts can be assembled in advance, and were tasty enough to reduce my husband to gnawing the crust from around the edges of his mug.
Tart Party, Sans Vicars
Julie | June 27, 2009
The June 2009 Daring Bakers challenge featured a traditional British “pudding,” the Bakewell Tart, a dessert simply comprised of shortbread crust, jam, and almond frangpane. I tried my hand at homemade strawberry freezer jam, with mixed results.
Apple Dumplings for Faux-Fall
Julie | June 15, 2008
A homey, comforting dessert, these apple dumplings take a bit of prep time, but can be individually frozen to pull out whenever your loved ones start hinting for something like apple pie.
