Happy Birthday TWD!

Happy Birthday to Tuesdays With Dorie. Laurie Woodward our fearless leader and founder started it all. Just to recap: Join the weekly TWD baking group, buy Dorie Greenspan's Baking: From My Home to Yours book, bake the assigned recipe, capture the closeup, write about it and post! Every week is a celebration. So for this week's party.....


Dorie our guiding light has selected one of her favorites. I can see why. The pear tart is flavorful and elegant. A sweet almond crust with sliced pears resting on a bed of heavenly almond cream. Check out Dorie's post for the recipe.


Thank you very much, and many happy returns.

Farm To Table

From the distance I see a banner for Fresh Strawberries from one of the few farm stands on the South Fork of Long Island. I know what I have to do. The berries are on the floor in the back seat of the car while the dog is anxious to get out and run like there is no tomorrow. Once home the berries will transform into tarts, ice cream, shortcakes and compote. This edition of Tuesdays With Dorie (TWD) is a welcome seasonal Strawberry Tart. Made with love.



















P.S. UPDATE from last week: All the brownies were winners...yes Dorie's won, however some kids liked Nick's and Alice's made an impressive show.
