Heirloom Tomato Galette

September 17, 2020 by pamflo

The markets are in full swing and bursting with amazing fresh produce. The highlight for me are the ripe, colorful and juicy heirloom tomatoes. This tasty, savory tart is made with a simple crust combining butter and crème fraîche. The crust can be made a day ahead and refrigerated overnight. The filling is a delicious combination of heirloom tomatoes and manchego cheese, a popular Spanish sheep’s milk cheese with a tangy, nutty flavor. A slice of this galette served warm […]

Blueberry Cornmeal Crostata

Apple Crisp

September 18, 2014 by pamflo

I used to make an unbelievably decadent apple crisp for Thanksgiving each year. It is a recipe of Jasper White’s, one of my favorite chef instructors from my BU Culinary program, years ago. Since it was not the healthiest dessert, I decided to think a little out of the box and make a healthier, lighter version of this crisp. The apples are perfectly ripe and overflowing at the Farmers Markets!  Use any kind of apples you like, but Mitsu, Honey Crisp and […]
