Nothing beats a French fruit tart when berries are in season. With an almond shortbread crust, vanilla pastry cream filling, berries and glaze, its a gorgeous and fun dessert to make.

French Fruit Tart
lemon bars
These lemon bars taught me a valuable lesson. I've always disliked lemon bars and now I realize that's because I've only had store bought ones.
When my cousin Pradeep requested I make lemon bars, I sort of sighed to myself but agreed because I love him and he is an awesome cousin :-) Boy was I surprised when I tasted these! They are amazing and wonderful. Pradeep really did me a favor. Now I know that homemade lemon bars are awesome.
This recipe comes from the King Arthur Flour Cookie Companion Cookbook. I found the recipe online here:

Swedish Visiting Cake
From Dorie Greenspan's
Baking From My Home to Yours
Very easy to make and tastes of vanilla, almonds and lemon. Its supposed to be made in a cast iron skillet but I made it in a springform pan. Middle is a little thin but otherwise looks and tastes good - like a chewy almond cookie.
