• Rustic Apple Crostatas

  

  With much less effort than a traditional pie, these casual little crostatas (or galettes, à la français!) are still just as impressive. A foolproof, flaky, oh-so-tender pastry bakes up crisp and sturdy enough to enjoy out of hand, just like a superb bake-shop treat. Buttery layers casually envelop the perfect ratio of cinnamon-apple filling, but will effortlessly accommodate any fruit.

• Espresso Chocolate Chunk Banana Bread (whole wheat)

  

  A perked up version of everyone’s favourite homemade snack. Generous chunks of dark chocolate and a hit of instant espresso powder create a robustly-flavoured banana bread. Made a little more wholesome with 100% whole wheat flour and gently sweetened to achieve a perfect balance of bitter-sweet.
