I love baked fruit. It is so damn yummy. In Nigella's intro to the recipe she says "Galette is a fancy way of saying this is a pie, but don't get your hopes up." So I was wondering how good this would be. I have to say her description is pretty bang on. This is a poor man's (or rushed woman's) pie. It's tasty but as everyone knows the secret ingredient is always love and you can tell with this recipe that it doesn't have a whole lot of the secret ingredient. I think this recipe is good it you have some fruit to use up but just don't have the energy to make a proper pastry. And it only takes 15 minutes to bake too as opposed to your normal 50 minutes for a pie. And I'm going to say I could have taken this out at 12 minutes and it would have been better but I did just set it and forget it as Star Wars was on. And with it being Empire Strikes Back there was plenty of Yoda screen time, and puppet Yoda is my favourite. CG Yoda is cool too, but he's no puppet. Kind of like this recipe actually. Think of the galette as being the CG Yoda. Better than nothing, but come on, it's just not the same as the original Yoda that we all fell in love with - puppet Yoda.
