I have always favored desserts with fresh berries or other fruits as a component. Apple Tart Tatin, Sable of Fresh Berries, Fresh Fruit Tart on Frangipane to name a few. It may be because growing up with five other siblings, berries were not often on the table due to economics. This recipe is a wonderful dessert for berries and works also with summer fruits, especially peaches and apricots. This dessert is featured on one of my cooking shows, The Santa Barbara Chef, now viewable on Vimeo and soon on Amazon Prime.
I have produced over 145 cooking videos over the last few years. The theme throughout has been my take on modern and classic California-French approach to cooking. Local ingredients play a large role in the dishes I offer. Filmed in the original silent picture studio, Flying A Studios, Santa Barbara is the backdrop for the show. Now, my cooking show is available worldwide on Vimeo. Here is a link to Vimeo, The Santa Barbara Chef on Vimeo.
Tastefully,
Chef Michael Hutchings
