Peach Tart with Almonds and Maple Syrup
July 27th, 2007 | Category: Baked Goods

I baked this tart while on vacation at The White Mansion. This is a remake tough. I thought of adding almonds and maple syrup on top after I tasted it. I prefer not to bake the peaches with the tart dough, especially since they are in season and full of sweet juices. You don’t want that juice to evaporate, right? But with only the fruit on top, the tart looks naked. Just a drizzle of maple syrup and a handful of raw almonds make all the difference.

Brownies My Way

Some like it fudgy, some like it cakey. Some add walnuts, some don’t. Some prefer thin slices, some like it thick. No matter which, I believe every baker has a favorite brownie recipe of his own.

Bodrum & The White Mansion

I confess. I used to hate Bodrum. Yes, I hated the city synonymous with perfect summer weather and magnificent coves. It was before The White Mansion with the cheerful cook existed.
