Pears and almonds tart (Tarta de peras y almendras)

The  tree has given many pears this year (each summer is different) the same with the apples (delicious Fuji) so now is season pears here! I think that in the northern hemisphere they must still have pears, we have almost all year round. We love this recipe with a soft sponge cake, almond cream and pears. Delicious. Many of you are in Spring here still not much of Autumn but it is less hot. This recipe is really good. Love for all !

Carrots, white beans and ginger soup ( Crema de zanahorias. jengibre y porotos)

Okay. We are closer to Autumn,  and Im really happy of it!  Here in the day it is still hot but the nights are a delight. You're almost  feel cold.. But I know that those who wait for spring are happy and it's fine. Spring is lovely too. I made this creamy soup a while ago (I love soups all year round ) but typical of mine I did not find where I had it. Ordering yesterday I finally found it! It is  delicious  and healthy (like many soups) and is very good with sliced almonds when served. And I love ginger too ! With Esperanza my daughter we love soups. I hope you enjoy it. Much love!

Passionfruit and Greek yogurt cake (Cake de maracuya y yogurt griego)

Hello to all again with much  love. The weather lowering a bit the heat which is very nice, and  last Saturday we went to the beach . I think about three years I didn't go to the beach and It was beautiful. (We went only by the day) Valparaiso and ViƱa del Mar) In the evenings I already feel that autumn is coming (for many of you the Spring) It refreshes a lot at night! A few days ago I made this cake and many know that one of my favorite fruits is  passionfruit   (aka maracuya). As always you can use fresh or frozen passionfruit. I always have frozen. When you buy fresh passionfruit it ripens very quickly! If you find frozen passionfruit , the Peruvian is so good.
