Macaron à la Peaches et Crème … Vacation Macs!
I'm back on board to get back in sync with the fun and beautiful Mac Attack Jamie and I host each month. This time our call was for Vacation Macs ... and how better could I get there with my mac-a-vacations ... Macaron à la Peaches et Crème. Vanilla Macarons sandwiched with a low fat peaches & cream ice-cream ... perfect memories, and perfect for summer!

Armenian Nazook 2 ways … sweet and savoury
An Armenian yeasted dough sweet traditional pastry. The result was so good, the crust is almost like a flaky shortcrust or shortbread, maybe somewhere in between, but quite amazing!

Baking| Hot Cross Strawberry Chocolate Chip Buns … Happy Easter
Happy Easter Sunday. I have for you light and airy hot cross buns made with a yeasted {eggless] buttermilk dough flavoured with vanilla beans and chocolate chips. A sweet roasted balsamic strawberry reduction floods the palette as you bite through the otherwise not so sweet bun.

Baking| Honey Roasted Fig & Almond Tart … good food indeed!
The tart was D.E.L.I.C.I.O.U.S.! Combined together, butter, brown sugar, almonds and vanilla beans deliver something special. The crust was crisp, and the tart came together beautifully. Honey roasted figs pleased the palette with the hint of orange zest. For once we didn't need cream or creme fraiche or ice cream!

A quick, light, fruity tart to make. Use any seasonal berries and have it ready in next to no time. So much colour, flavour, texture and good taste! The crisp, buttery pastry and the soft cooked fruit makes life sweeter by the second.
