A Little Late Summer Baking
Try these perfect recipes which are ideal to make the most of the late summer weather and holiday weekend.
Hello
It’s the last long holiday weekend of the year here in the UK which is the perfect excuse to do a spot of late summer baking. Much as I love baking, I don’t do that much in the summer months, so I am really looking forward to doing a spot more as Autumn fast approaches.
The recipes I am sharing with you this weekend include a crispy open summer pie or tart, call it what you will, filled with tasty summer vegetables. A spinach, ricotta, and feta pie made with puff pastry which is delicious, eaten hot or cold, so it is ideal for picnics. Plus a beetroot tarte tatin with a crisp walnut pastry. Any of these savoury bakes would be perfect for enjoying al fresco if the sun obliges or indoors if it is a bit chillier. They taste very much of summer, which I refuse to say goodbye to yet, especially as it took so long to get started. But equally they feel like comfort food that gives you a warm glow even when the temperature is not so hot.
If you fancy a little sweet baking, strawberries are still plentiful and cheap at the moment, so a baked strawberry cheesecake or my strawberry meringue roulade might be just the thing.
That’s all for now. Have a delicious week and enjoy the long weekend if you have one.
