  • This Mediterranean-inspired Grape Olive Oil Cake is a moist, tender cake that strikes a perfect balance of sweet and fruity flavors. It features an orange-zest crumb infused with fresh grapes, which get baked into the cake, lending it a fruity burst and soft texture. It’s ideal for celebrating the harvest season and perfect for all your fall gatherings!

  • Porc aux pruneaux is a classic French dish that can take various forms, from a hearty pork roast to tender pork chops – but my personal favorite is braised pork loin with prunes. Slow-cooked in white wine, the pork absorbs a rich depth of flavor, beautifully enhanced by sweet onions and melt-in-your-mouth prunes.

  • A French home baker’s favorite, the Invisible Apple Cake is a deceptively easy, yet exceptional recipe for apple season. It features nearly invisible apple slices layered in a custardy batter and baked until sweet, melty and golden. The result is an incredibly moist dessert with a big fruity flavor and a visually striking look. A fabulous way to showcase freshly picked apples!

  • A French plum tart, also known as “Tarte aux Prunes,” is a classic French dessert that highlights the natural sweetness and juiciness of plums. This tart features a buttery, flaky crust filled with fresh plums that are baked until jammy. It’s buttery, nutty, sweet and tart all at once. Enjoy it on its own, or with a dollop of crème fraiche on top – heavenly!
