Peach Galette


Galette is a rustic pie. It is sometimes also called a "crostada." I like to do galette in a cast iron skillet or a stone pie dish so that the juices from the fruit aren't lost. When peaches are in season in the late summer, a peach galette is a most delicious treat with layers of flavors and textures. If you use local, tree-ripened peaches, this dessert requires very little sugar and nothing else, so the fresh peach flavor is allowed to be the star of this dish.

  1. The peach galette was very good. Even better because of the setting it was devoured in. Super sweet, it's hard to believe there was very little sugar.

  2. so...are there going to be any recipes? Or are we left to hunt them down and drool over the pics.

    Jared asks specifically for your chocolate cake. Which, of course, isn't a pastry, but yummy nonetheless.

    BTW, I got some pummelos in a produce co-op and I would love to do some dessert with them. Any ideas?
