Greetings all! Kat here once again! Before I begin this week’s adventure, I’d like to take this opportunity to thank everybody that responded to my post question about what laws they would like applied in my dictatorship. They made me smile and, in turn, my day 🙂
Anyways, on with the show. This month’s recipe was quite simple (however that must be accredited in part to my aunt prefabricating the dough ahead of time). Beyond that, it was simply a matter of assembling the blackberry-blueberry (my sister’s was blueberry-mango but more on that later) mixture, which I tossed in lemon juice, a slight deviation from the recipe, but an effective one, delicately folding the dough into lovely pleats, and doing the water wash along the edges of the crust and dusting it with sugar. The smell that emanated from the oven was delightful, and the finished product was a golden brown, bubbling berry delight.
I should take this time to point out that my sister’s galette deviated in terms of filling and dough wash (she utilized an egg wash as opposed to water). Her blueberry-mango filling was delicately flavoured with vanilla and rum, a combination I look forward to sampling when it’s finished baking.
All in all, a successful endeavour, and a fitting birthday “cake” for the Dame of French cooking herself, Julia Child, who, I am told, would be celebrating her hundredth birthday this year. Happy Birthday Julia; know that your legacy continues to inspire new and experienced cooks alike every day.
This week’s hosts are: Lisa and Andrea. You can find everyone’s links here: Berry Galette
Lemon juice is usually a perfect deviation when fruit is involved & how could anyone say no to mango?
Great looking galettes!
Yummy! Looks incredibly delicious! I love your combination too.

Love that you tried different fillings and washes…great idea. Which one was better tasting???
Beautiful galettes! I did a mango blueberry variation for the pie and it´s a great one. I do want to try the blackberries.
Mmmm, adding mango is fantastic! Great idea!
Absolutely love your photos. The first with the Depth of Field…very nice…Nice flavor combinations.

Looks great! Your berries stayed whole instead of melting down like mine did. I wonder if it was because of the lemon juice?
Your photos are delicious! Makes me want a slice. This was a fun recipe. I am a fan of the galette.
This looks amazing. Gorgeous photos!
I certainly needed someone prefabricating my pastry dough. Mine was a disaster but, in the end, was edible. I like all the fruit and flavor combinations but, if I were asked, I would go with the rum version! Both look tasty and well baked. Sounds as if you had fun with this ons.
Love the variations. Your photography is beautiful.
Beautiful photos! Love mango ~ looks fabulous.
Beautiful! I’ve made this dough so many ways since I bought the book a while ago. I just love it. I did a milk wash on my version this time. I usually do an egg wash. Either way, it’s always wonderful:)
Those look delicious! So cool it’d be Julia’s 100th this year.
Love the addition of the mango…perfect! Both your galettes look beautiful and so delicious!! Happy Birthday to Julia!
Yours looks so great I want to just pick it up and take it with me in my lunch!
Mango, blackberries, blueberries… so delicious!
Your picture are fabulous!
Teresa,
After writing comments on many many TWD BWJ group members’ blogs
and always noticing your name one or two comments ahead of mines, I’ve finally reached your lovely blog. Let me tell you first, that I really do love all the comments you write.
Kat, your galette looks so yummy! I love the filling combo! I definitely need to try to bake mangoes!
Kat, as usual, your photos are amazing! I’m sure the galette was delicious too!
I love mango with blueberries. That was an inspired idea.
Kat. both the Galettes look wonderful and both fruit combinations sound interesting and delicious!
Both these galettes look so delicious! What a great idea to pair mango with blueberries. And those blackberries look gorgeous!
Mango and blueberry are an awesome combination!
Both your galettes look delicious! I am jealous because yours don’t look like they leaked at all – not fair!
What a fun idea to try different variations! I still have dough in the freezer, I might steal your lemon juice idea for the next galette.
Your galettes look lovely! Your additions sound awesome. I definitely wish I added lemon juice to my berries. And mango with vanilla and rum. Yum!
Good looking galettes 🙂
