Still running around playing catch-up and feeling constantly under caffeinated, by French standards.
But trying to take a deep breath after the past week of travel nightmares and jet lagged adventures.
This week I am excited about a few lovely al fresco dinners and an upcoming feature on The Besty on my favorite places around town.
I am also working on an ochre-colored crowd-pleaser of an apricot tart for you that tastes like today’s perfectly diffused summer sunshine.
Did I show you the pot de crème – a whole big pot of freshly whipped cream – that came with my much more modest apple tart at dinner in Cagnes?
That’s serious stuff.
Look out, I am going to make it a mandatory part of any future tart and pie recipes!
And here is one more unbelievable sunset for you. {We really try our best to capture a mood or a moment with photos, but capturing nature is close to impossible…}
Such a delicious feast of stone fruit tarts and giant pots de creme! The French certainly of things in style! Love the snap of the early morning rays on your coffee there. A beautiful wake up call if ever there was one!
That was one imposing pot de creme! We tucked into it pretty well though.
Love the apricot tart. I cook apricots all the time as I love them cold with greek yoghurt. That tart looks divine…got to make it:)
Thank you! Love them with thick greek yogurt as well. Will post the recipe this week.
Your tart looks absolutely delicious, apricots are the best!
It looks so indulgent 😀
Cheers

Thanks, Uru! As you can see from the abundance of apricot recipes, I love cooking with them in summer.
I’m looking forward to your recipe for the apricot tart, it looks wonderful. 🙂
Coming up today, I hope 🙂
