Dishes made with puff pastry have a special place in my heart. Perhaps it is all the flaky, buttery layers of puff pastry which makes just about anything taste really good – especially desserts. Today I have a special treat for you. My eight year old daughter, Mimi, is featured in a cooking video I created and posted for PBS Parents Kitchen Explorers. In the video, Mimi shows you how to make a beautiful fresh fruit tart using strawberries and blueberries. It’s the perfect dessert for Memorial Day.
What I love about this fruit tart is how easy it is to pull together once the puff pastry has been baked. It tastes like a bakery-style dessert without much effort on my part. You can find the complete recipe at PBS Parents Kitchen Explorers but I wanted to at least share the video with you here on Savory Sweet Life.
Mimi did an amazing job in only a few takes. I am very proud of her. I’m hoping she will want to do more videos with me in the near future but for right now I am happy with just this one. Hope you all like it, too!
Your daughter is so adorable! and talent in the kitchen must be genetic in your family! Another great post, perfect for this summers berries!
