I feel like the galettes have become as ubiquitous as the cupcake; they’ve been everywhere this summer. I’m pretty sure their identity as the “lazy, easy pie” is what makes them so appealing to the masses. No transferring of dough, no crimping, no perfection needed. Galettes embrace the flaws and imperfection all of us need sometimes.

While bacon wrapping may have seemed like an over-the-top fad (which it often was), there are some solid culinary reasons why the technique was probably first devised.
Who’s ready for fall? I cannot wait for the arrival of fall. Scarves, autumn leaves, accompanied by crisp and breathable air…I’m so excited.
