Crostata di Frutta (Italian Fruit Tart)

Crostata di Frutta is a classic Italian dessert featuring a sweet shortcrust pastry base filled with silky pastry cream and topped with fresh, vibrant seasonal fruit. It’s as elegant as it is delicious — perfect for entertaining or a light summer finish.

Sacher Torte

A Viennese classic created in 1832, Sacher Torte is a decadent, dense chocolate cake with a layer of tart apricot jam, enrobed in a smooth chocolate glaze. Traditionally served with unsweetened whipped cream, it’s refined, rich, and not overly sweet — a truly sophisticated dessert.

Lamb Tagine with Apricots

Lamb Tagine with Apricots is a traditional Moroccan dish that beautifully balances savory, sweet, and aromatic spices. Slow-braised lamb becomes meltingly tender as it simmers with dried apricots, cinnamon, saffron, and ginger, creating a sauce that’s rich, sweet, and warmly spiced. Typically cooked in a tagine pot but equally doable in a Dutch oven, this dish is deeply comforting and fragrant.
