Baking| Cherry Phyllo Pie … sweet cherry pie, with home made phyllo.
I am still amazed at why I didn't get to making phyllo at home earlier. This is a summer pastry for a country like ours. Light, crisp, versatile, delightful ... ah-mazing stuff! The success of home made phyllo won me over when I made Baklava from scratch last month, and soon enough I made another batch of dough. This time it ended up rather deliciously in a Cherry Phyllo Pie.

Baking| Peach, Plum & Apricot Streusel Crumble … Fine Cooking In Season
I do love this season. The colours, the flavours, the charm of stone fruit ... always like a dream. The crumble was addictive and difficult to keep away from. Sweetly tart and full of soul ... if you know what I mean. Add to it a nutty walnut streusel topping, crisp and delicious and you know this was meant to be.

Stone Fruit Tea Cake … perfect inspiration for summer!
A Stone Fruit Tea Cake must be the best way to use stone fruit in a cake this summer. Light enough to be a snack to satiate that grumbling in the tummy, yet indulgent enough to offer a light summer dessert if served with whipped cream or ice cream!
