Cupcakes and Cashmere

Nectarine and Blackberry Galette

July 6th, 2011

I slipped out to the farmers’ market on Sunday like I always do, but made sure to be in my car by 9am to avoid the oppressive heat that’s suddenly descended upon L.A. As I quickly made my way around the booths, I stocked up on yellow nectarines and plump blackberries, unsure of what I would make with them. After a bit of research, I decided to put them into a rustic tart, one that felt homemade and unfussy. For those that are too intimidated to attempt an entire pie, this recipe will yield perfectly imperfect results; exactly how a summer dessert should be.

    Sometimes the whole pie crust from scratch is a bit daunting so I love this “perfectly imperfect” sub. I’m not much of a nectarine fan but perhaps peaches could be another sub out?

    Have you ever thought of putting together a cookbook? I realize you borrow a lot of recipes, but it seems as though you always throw in your own special touch. Love them all!
