This recipe was originally posted back in the beginning of my blogging efforts. It was the first time I had ever used puff pastry to make tarts. I was so happy with the results, and how incredibly easy the purchased pastry was to work with, I started making them often.
Perhaps I was making them a bit too often. Puff … Continue reading.....
The acorn squash are coming to an end and I’m starting to get creative with the last few.
This as much a guide / idea as an actual recipe. Little puff pastry tarts can be topped with anything and make a great first course.
Make them bigger for a light lunch or smaller to serve with drinks.
Make them red … Continue reading.....
As a switch from our usual ‘Fish-Hell’ night (mon mari‘s words, not mine) I made a fish pizza.
Okay, a White Pizza with Smoked Salmon.
How can one go wrong with goat cheese and smoked salmon?
Mon mari would argue that it’s not really pizza – much the same as deep-dish pizza is not really pizza (also his … Continue reading.....

And there are certain 4-legged members of this household that have been snitching them every chance they get!
First the unripe figs, then the … Continue reading.....
I can’t believe it’s been almost a month since I did a post on mini-pizzas.
We like these little pizzas…. They’re easy, fun and cheap.
I buy a package of four 4″ squares of puff pastry for under a euro.
At that price one simply has to play.
You can top them with almost anything, they bake in under 15 … Continue reading.....
Pesto Rosso, part II
This is what started it all – my quest to perfect Pesto Rosso, that is.
Well, except that it was a mini-pizza we had for a starter.
After I made the second batch I decided a proper Pizza Pesto Rosso was in order.
In the past I’ve tried Mozzarella di Bufala on pizza and it … Continue reading.....
