Amateurish attempt at food blogging, since amateurish cooking is what I’ve been doing for the last several weeks.
The plum pie I baked yesterday. With sweet piecrust from Bittman’s How to Cook Everything Vegetarian and filling recipe from Martha Stewart. It came out a little too tart, so more sugar in my filling next time——and there was an incident with dripping juices setting off the smoke alarm, so I’ll try not to overfill it too!
And the lemon tart fancified with fresh rasberries for July 4th. Sweet tart crust recipe also from Bittman. Filling recipe and topping idea from Week of Menus. This came out great—so much neater than a fruit pie and easy to put whatever decoration on top—tasted fantastic with the fresh rasberries.
