💡 What's interesting

The galette's free-form, folded-edge style makes it a charmingly imperfect, home-baked alternative to a precise tart, embodying a French culinary philosophy that values rustic simplicity. Nutritionally, using ripe stone fruit like nectarines allows for less added sugar compared to many other pastries.
