This is a simple way to use those wonderful fresh fruits. I had some excellent white peaches, soft and really juicy, and great raspberries recently so for a dinner with friends I made this wonderful tart. I did manage to destroy it on the trip over and ended up with a giant blob. It was […]

This is a challenge I could really appreciate! Freshly baked croissants, using Julia Child’s recipe. What could be better?
