Crostata is an Italian baked tart that dates back to early cookbooks like Art of cooking by Martino da Como, published in 1465. It’s a rustic version of an open fruit tart baked in a pie tray but we all know that, the fact that is surprising to me is that it dates back to the 15th century. In my last post Roasted chicken & fries I mentioned that French fries date back to 1600s, so it’s really interesting how today we still eat dishes that people have been eating for centuries and they’re still widely popular. Seems like when it comes to food some things never change.

I like preparing Crostata since it is probably the easiest dessert one can make and it can be prepared for any occasion. When making a choice which fruit to use for a Crostata the possibilities are endless, but probably the best option…
