Recipe: Portuguese Walnut Tart
We had this tart for breakfast at Hotel Albergaria do Calvário in Évora, Portugal. It had a good nutty flavor and was not overly sweet as the other pastries we’d had in Portugal. I loved it! The hotel kindly shared their recipe with me. So here it is how to make it!
Recipe: French Almond Pear Tart
This delicious tart takes a little bit of planning, First you poach the pears, which is a no-brainer. Then you make the shell, add the toppings and bake it again, et voilà – a beautifully golden colored, nicely caramelized tart!
Recipe: Matcha Coconut Mochi Cake
I made this cake last week for a Chinese New Year’s celebration party. It was an instant crowd-pleaser.
