STRAWBERRY & PASTRY CREAM CROSTATA (PIE) - CROSTATA S JAGODAMA I SLASTICARSKOM KREMOM

Place of origin: Italy

I'm totally crazy about Italian Crostata, that wonderful pie with various fillings and a crust so simple and yet so rich in taste. Being 1/4 Italian and having relatives in Italy, every time we would go to visit while I was still a kid, I had to have at least one piece of Crostata. My mum has never ever made it at home. When I grew up I got this recipe from my Italian cousin who is a great cook. Really great cook. The pie crust is a base and the filling.... it's up to your imagination. As the first Crostata recipe on our blog, I'm presenting you this mouthwatering summer strawberry & pastry cream crostata. :-)

MUM'S APPLE PIE - MAMINA PITA OD JABUKA

Place of Origin: Croatia

Very easy recipe that my mum used to make very often. I think she learned it from my dad's mum, aka from my granny, aka from her mother-in-law. :-) It's different from typical apple pies as you don't have to roll out the dough, actually it doesn't have a dough. It's made of batter and you just have to pour it into a mold. So simple, isn't it? :-)
