This tart is not too sweet and the combination of buttery crust, creamy fluffy mascarpone and jammy cherries is just phenominal. Each componant is easy to make and can be made in advance and assembled last minute for a dinner party. It also keeps well in the fridge if you want to just have a little piece every day for a while.

Sourdough Discard Crackers (herb or sesame/ gluten-free or not)
Do you still have your pandemic sourdough starter? I have mine, but I do not have so much time to bake bread. Maybe you have the same problem?

Hello! I know it’s been a while. I’ve cooked many delicious things in the last year, but have not felt inspired (or had the time) to document.

Cranberry, Almond, Ginger Tart (gluten-free)
My plan was to make this tart to bring to every holiday party I went to this year. It’s a beautiful tart, all shiny and red and studded with candied ginger. The jam filling packs a punch between the tartness of the cranberries and the spice of the ginger, but there is just a thin…
