Don’t let the multiple steps daunt you: They are quick and simple, and the end result is a fun and professional-looking coil, perfect for a first course or as hors d’oeuvre. You could just as easily make them with 2 colors meat, like ground turkey and ground beef. Not only was it fun to make, [...]

I have my mother to thank for providing the inspiration for this beautiful tart. The base is not a classic pie crust as we know it, more like a cookie dough, making this tart much less perishable than the classic apple pie. You will create in no time a dessert that looks as professional [...]
