The galette—unfussy, easy to make, and fully customizable—is presented in 50 sweet and savory recipes using seasonal fruits and vegetables, nuts, chocolate, and accessible pantry staples.
The genius galette, a rustic, freeform tart, is easier to bake than pie. It requires a few simple ingredients, and minimal equipment, meaning that with some pantry basics, a home cook can put one together for no more than the cost of fresh (or frozen!) produce. A galette can be sweet or savory, filled with any imaginable combination of fruits or veggies, meats, cheeses, and spices. They are great for a party—they can be prepared in advance, but they also come together quickly when you're in a pinch—and galettes can be made year-round with whatever produce is available. Galette! celebrates this humble pastry, offering 50 easy-to-follow and customizable recipes. With one basic crust recipe, endless galette possibilities are within reach. Celebrate summer's bounty with a Marinated Artichoke and Tomato or Lofty Peaches and Granola Galette. Brown-Buttered Apples and Honey, rolled out and baked like a slab pie, is the perfect dessert for a crowd, while individual Lemony Spinach and Rice galettes work well for a family dinner. No matter the filling, galettes are the ideal, foolproof bake for home cooks.
