The Brioche Tart That Made Julia Child Cry
January 04th, 2008 | Category: Chocolate, Friends, Tarts and Pies
As I am writing this post, first snow of the year is hitting the streets of İstanbul. It was the only thing missing at our New Year's Eve dinner party.
I baked two desserts for the occasion: "Chocolate and Chestnut Buche de Noel" and "The Brioche Tart that made Julia Child Cry" (recipe below). Can you believe that name? I didn't watch that specific episode, but apparently in ...
Sour Cherry Frangipane Tart
August 01st, 2007 | Category: Fruit, Tarts and Pies
Another fruit I am trying to eat as much as possible these days is sour cherries. The frozen stuff that I use throughout winter never comes close to these delicate berries.

Nutella Tart
June 25th, 2007 | Category: Chocolate, Tarts and Pies
No need to think twice.
My most-craved dessert of all time is the super-creamy, too-good-to-be-true Nutella Tart.
Jennifer of The Domestic Goddess, creator of the scrumptious Sugar High Friday food event, is hosting this month's SHF.
Nutella Tart is a variation of the Chocolate Ganache Tart I bake quite frequently. It is my favorite tart as well as my friends' and sold like crazy at Harvey Nichols. Since I bake ...
