Crostata

It is IMPOSSIBLY hard to find a good crostata; most restaurants or coffee bars don't make their own, they just sell a tasteless and dry version they buy commercially in bulk. Since crostata is my favorite dessert, I take my time and put love into making them. The crust should be buttery with an ever-so-light lemon taste; the jelly (homemade is best!) should be just the right ratio to the crust. If there is too much jelly, the crostata falls apart when you try to eat it and it makes the whole dessert too sweet. Yes, I'm difficult, but my crostata is delicious! Come learn how to make the perfect crostata with me in one of our cooking classes!
