Rustic pastries

Fluffy orange dough, filled with orange mascarpone and orange marmalade, topped with buttery streusel and pistachios, these Pistachio Orange Pastries are a combo of my two favorite pastries!

The savory-sweet fig galettes make a stunning starter to nibble with a glass of bubbly, or a light brunch or lunch served with a side salad. Vegetarian, with gluten-free and grain-free pie crust options. This is my favorite wheat or spelt pie crust.

Delicious soft and sweet yeasted bread filled with a wild blueberry sauce and quark. Quark is a German style soft cheese, said to be similar to ricotta cheese, cottage cheese, or even farmer cheese. This fresh cheese is a fresh acid-set cheese, which sours the milk and gives it a tangy flavor. When combined with sweet, fresh blueberries it creates a perfect pairing! You don’t have to forage for wild blueberries to make these delicious Russian-inspired buns, but you can certainly romanticize…

This peach puff pastry is spread with mascarpone cheese and topped with crushed roasted pistachios. It's flakey, sweet, savory and wonderful!

Karpatka is a Polish Carpathian Mountain Cake consisting of layers of choux pastry and a thick and decadent filling of crème mousseline (German buttercream).
