The fruit is in season, and beautiful, so why not use it? The rhubarb was cut up and macerated in sugar and vanilla powder for 2 days before using. Then mixed in with fresh strawberries and cinnamon was added, and put into the deliciously flaky pie shell. Served with vanilla bean ice cream, can't beat it.

Almond Cakes filled with Strawberry Jam
These are very simple, yet very tasty cakes. Made with whole wheat flour, brown butter and egg whites, they're not too sweet. Glazed with amaretto-lemon icing to add an extra flavor. Very satisfying.

Apple Bread Pudding
Apples work really well with bread pudding, the flavor and the juices unite nicely with the bread, keeping it moist. The pudding was topped with walnuts and apricot glaze.

Pear and Berry Crostada with Almond Cream
This crostada has the most delicious flakey crust, and it's so easy to make, the main ingredient being butter.. of course, but it's so worth it! The crust is also made with whole wheat, being healthier, and adding more flavor. It is then rolled out, filled with a nice almond cream, topped with pear eighths, fresh strawberries and blueberries tossed in vanilla extract, sugar in the raw, cinnamon and ginger. The crust is then folded over some of the fruit brushed with heavy cream and sprinkled with sugar in the raw, making it nice and crispy after it has been baked. Perfect with a scoop of vanilla bean icecream.. no nice and light on a spring day.
