pastry

Greeted by singing, the head of the Catholic Church came aboard, inspected the cabins and shared pastries in the boat's small dining room.

He added that when it comes to room service, all he needs is coffee and a pastry in the morning, not an unlimited spread.

This year, as I prepare for my annual quiche indulgence, I’m challenging myself to make homemade shortcrust pastry.

Maybe this could be the start of something — a recurring salon, a tradition, a place where people could nibble pastries and say bright, approving things about me.

Certainly, I think given the amount of pastry I consume and have consumed in my lifetime, I thought that Mary O’s Irish Soda Bread scones were kind of a revelation.
