Blueberry Galettes
The calendar will turn to September tomorrow so before it’s too late I’m going to write this piece of good news.
About two months ago I was approached by ThinkSpain.com editor, Anita, to write a recipe for the guide for the month of August. She likes what I do in my food blog and she would love to feature my recipe in the guide. It was totally unexpected and I was in a position where I could try a recipe, bake something sweet and write it for a different audience. ThinkSpain.com is a guide published in both English and Spanish language and it also has both Internet and printed editions.
One of the thing to keep me focused on what recipe I would like to write at that time was what an appropriate baked goods to eat in the month of August. Anita also mentioned that I had to consider the ingredients, not all of the ingredients I use here would be available in Spain. Blueberry was my first choice because it was readily available during summer months and galettes would be nice and something easier to make for friends or family gathering.
My timing was slightly off during the month of July because my family had a vacation and the house remodeling started soon after we came back from vacation. In between those time I had to move my house stuff so finding time to bake was one the hardest thing to do 
I’ve came up with the recipe long before I planned to bake it, so at least that part was done already. Tweaking a recipe was not an easy thing to do especially when you’re facing with a deadline, vacation and remodeling.
If a blessing was disguised in form of friends then I was lucky. In the weekend before I left for vacation, my church friends invited me to have a picnic. Because I had to bake the galettes right that week, I could not be happier than to have a handful of testers. My church friends were very supportive in that they helped me finished the galettes and made comments on how they tasted. They were my best reviewers ever!
I am not posting the recipe but you could see go here to see it. I am sharing all the photos I made that session and hopefully you will enjoy them as well and big thank you for Anita for featuring my recipe in the guide this month!
This totally hit the right spot! Berries and tarts are my ultimate favourite and the combination is almost like peanut butter and jelly!
interesting thinking Pei Lin!
