Bacon and Onion Tart

Bacon and Onion Tart, Pastry Maestra

T

here is nothing to be said about bacon and onion, one would think, right? We all know what is bacon, and we all hate slicing onion because it makes us cry, period! Well, not so fast! Let’s hit the brakes, and see if there is more than meets the eye, shall we?

Chantilly and Strawberry Vol-au-Vents

Chantilly and Strawberry Vol-au-Vents, Pastry Maestra

W

hen translated from French, vol-au-vent [vɔlovɑ̃] means “windblown”. And if you have never seen this small, hollow puff pastry case, it is time to try something new. You can fill vol-au-vents with savory fillings such as mushrooms, chicken, tuna or bacon, and if you have a sweet tooth like I do, you can play with all kinds of sweet creams and toppings.

Almond and Pear Turnovers

Almond and Pear Turnovers, Pastry Maestra

T

urnover or chausson [ʃosɔ̃] is a remarkable breakfast treat! Made of lovely puff pastry wrapped around apple compote or some other fruit filling, this pastry just melts in your mouth, leaving wonderful flavor of fruit and butter behind.

Vanilla and Strawberry Mille-Feuille

Vanilla and Strawberry Mille-Feuille, Pastry Maestra

M

ille-feuille [mil fœj], meaning “a thousand leaves” in French, millefoglie [mil-le-fò-glie] in Italian, vanilla slice or custard slice in English is also known as – Napoleon!?

Cream Horns

Cream Horns, Pastry Maestra

W

ho invented cream horns, what do you think? Well, most of the sources say that cream horns originated in Vienna, Austria. The interesting thing is that there are two similar pastries with German names.
