🍰🥧 GATEAU BASQUE 🥧🍰 At the start of th

🍰🥧 GATEAU BASQUE 🥧🍰 At the start of the year, I made some “resolution” bakes: one of them was to teach myself how to make a gateau basque (especially since the only bakery I know who makes it in Portland shut down–thanks COVID, thanks 😭😭😭). But what’s a gateau basque? A dessert hailing from the Basque regions of France and Spain, this pastry is a cross between a tart and a cake! It is built like a tart with rolled out pastry dough and a tart pan; this pastry dough then bakes up into a light, almond flavored sponge cake texture. But the best part? The layers of both pastry cream and fruit jam in the middle, of course! So learn more about the pastry on #hummingbirdhigh today, and become a Patreon supporter to access the official recipe and Instagram Story tutorial!

#SponsoredByNinja REAL TALK: Since it's just me an

#SponsoredByNinja REAL TALK: Since it's just me and my fiance Erlend in our household, I rarely find myself turning on the massive 36 inch range in my kitchen for our dinners. Instead, I rely more on my #NinjaFoodiOven by @NinjaKitchen. This countertop oven is a beast and comes with 10 different cooking functions (all in one oven, WILD). I can air fry, air roast, bake, whole roast, broil, toast, reheat, and MORE! The best part? There's enough space for two levels of cooking—enough for me to sneak in a tray of indulgent cookies for "dessert" (or a quick pre-dinner snack, lolll) while I roast some healthier chicken thighs and vegetables for dinner. Be sure to head to Instagram Stories to learn more and see the oven in action!
