Nicole's Feed Me Challenge -
This is a passage from Confections of a Closet Master Baker by Gesine Bullock-Prado (pg. 116 )
"Every summer since my mother died, the thought of smelling baking plums and watching the green-fleshed fruit start to bleed red into the buttery dough was depressing. We'd eaten zwetschgendatschi every summer we had together -- in Nurnberg, in our suburban house in Virginia, and at my aunt's home in Maryland. We bought it from local village bakeries in Bavaria or baked it ourselves".
This is a book I've been coveting. Keep reading and smiling!

ReplyDeleteMy father was a pastry chef and this passage has me dreaming of his whipped cream filled cream puffs. This plum creation sounds delicious as well!
