Pan de Calatrava

Calatrava Bread

Related to the family of flans and the puddings, Calatrava bread may be one of the easiest and most rewarding recipes to prepare. Its basic ingredients couldn't be simpler: milk, eggs and sugar, to which a portion of pastry or bread (hence its name) is added as the main feature. Basically, a classic egg flan only with a bonus. Not bad, right?

Tarta tropézienne

Tropézienne Tart

The origin of this tart lies in Saint-Tropez where, in the 1950s, Polish pastry chef Alexandre Miccka prepared and sold a delicate brioche filled with cream. The invention was so delicious that even Brigitte Bardot fell for it. In fact, it was the actress who suggested the name “Tarte Tropézienne”, which today is both a recipe and a registered trademark and remains as popular as ever.
