There is a bar I pop into now and then that always has a pastry in the counter that I almost never say no to — they call it simply a fig and walnut pastry (treccia con fichi e noci) and while it’s different to this (that one has something like a frangipane type base and a deep caramel flavour), it definitely inspired the braided shape of this pastry. The thing is that making pastries at home means you get to eat them while they are fresh out of the oven, shatteringly crisp, the filling oozing and warm.

This filling is essentially the filling of a Sicilian cookie that I love called buccellati (which I wrote about here for my newsletter, with a Christmas cookie tin idea). It tastes like Christmas as it’s heavy with dried fruit, candied fruit and nuts of all kinds, plus it is scented with orange zest and cinnamon — so festive!

For some other ideas for Italian treats for Christmas, try one of these:

  • Maritozzi always have a special place in my heart.
  • My ultimate Yule Log (tronco di natale) with candied walnuts and sugared rosemary decorations.
  • Australians who have cherry season might like to try these fresh cherry crostatine with my favourite shortcrust pastry.
  • Although these might be a bit strong for breakfast, panforte is probably one of the best ways to end a Christmas meal (or as a pick me up in the late afternoon!) — there is a chestnut version too.
  • If you love pandoro, try turning it into a wonderful no-bake dessert with homemade mascarpone and fruit.

Braided fig and nut pastries
Treccia con fichi e noci

Makes 16 pieces

150 grams dried figs, halved
80 grams walnuts (or your favourite nuts), chopped roughly
2 tablespoons brown sugar, plus extra for sprinkling
75 grams (1/4 cup) fig jam
1 unwaxed, organic orange or lemon, zested
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
2 eggs (save one for the egg wash)
2 sheets store-bought puff pastry

Soak the figs in just boiled water for about 15 minutes to soften. Drain them completely then pulse them in a food processor until they become like a rough paste. Place this is a bowl and add the brown sugar, jam, citrus zest, cinnamon and an egg and mix until well combined. Let this chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes, overnight is even better, if you are good at preparing things in advance, as the flavours have time to develop. You can even leave it for 3 or 4 days if you need to get things out of the way.

When ready to bake, heat oven to 200C (390F).

Unroll a puff pastry sheet and place the filling in the centre, so that it is about 3-4 inches (7-10cm) wide or taking up about a third of the pastry sheet. On either side of the filling, cut strips at an angle (refer to the photo). Now to “braid” it, simply alternate strips in a criss-cross fashion over the top of the filling from each side and at an angle — it’s not a true braid but it looks like one! Repeat with the second pastry.

With the saved egg, beat it in the bowl and brush over the top of the braids, then sprinkle some brown sugar over the top.

Bake until the top is golden brown, about 20 minutes. If the bottom looks quite pale, give it an extra 5 minutes on the bottom shelf of your oven for a total of 25 minutes.

Remove and let cool slightly so you can handle the pastries, then slice into 8 smaller slices or 4 larger ones. Serve immediately if you can (if serving these later, you can always warm them up again in the oven until crisp).

For a long time, I didn’t quite comprehend the widespread affinity for red sauce Italian American food. I wasn’t the mom who made lasagna or spaghetti and meatballs, perhaps because the best versions require the mixing of milk and meat, which isn’t allowable in our kosher home. Eggplant parmesan was an option, but my kids weren’t fans. When we dined out as a family, we were much more likely to eat at an Asian restaurant, rather than go out for pizza or Italian food.

While it sounds ridiculous for someone to find eating wildly popular dishes like fettuccini alfredo and chicken parmigiana as going outside one’s comfort zone, it’s pretty much how I feel as my first visit to Caruso’s Grocery approaches.

Carusos’s Grocery is what’s referred to as a red sauce Italian American joint. It opened on Capitol Hill in May 2021 and at Pike and Rose in December 2022. It is the brainchild of chef/partner Matt Adler and restaurateur Michael Babin of Neighborhood Restaurant Group, based on their respective family ties to Italian American restaurants. Upon opening, Adler tells the public not to expect a modern interpretation of classic dishes. Instead, the focus is on execution and high-quality ingredients.

I first met Adler when he was executive chef at Osteria Morini near Yards Park. I was a frequent diner there, returning often for his hand-rolled pasta and creative takes on burrata, and my admiration for his skills run deep. So, despite lacking a personal connection to the Carusos’s Grocery concept, I’m enthused about dining there, as early reviews and word-of-mouth reports are glowing.

Adler says that Caruso’s Grocery success was almost immediate. “In part it was our timing, opening in the middle of the pandemic. And also, the type of food we were serving – comfort food, nostalgic, and super recognizable. We knew pretty quickly that we had something here.”

So, while many diners are initially enticed by the opportunity to recreate food memories, my experience is from a different vantage point.  I can appreciate the red leather banquettes, the black and white photos on the wall, and the heaping plates of pasta being set on neighboring tables. But I ‘m not here for nostalgia.

It’s the consistently satisfying food that wins me over. The food isn’t fussy or artsy, yet there is charisma on the plate. Fried calamari are audibly crisp. Garlic bread announces its arrival with a delightfully pungent scent and a four-cheese dipping sauce on the side. Veal piccata is bright and tart and melts in your mouth.

I’m taken in by perfectly cooked shrimp scampi, tomato braised meatballs, and house made bucatini with spicy red sauce. Roasted garlic Caesar salad is an excellent accompaniment to the hearty appetizers and entrees. While it feels like you can’t possibly eat another bite, it doesn’t seem right if you don’t conclude with classics like tiramisu and cannoli. Save room.

We return to Caruso’s Grocery a couple of times, including Super Bowl Sunday. This visit features  an order of lovely trout piccatta with lemon butter wine sauce and crispy capers. Neapolitan ice cream topped with hot fudge is sublime. And yes, I do recall the slabs of this tricolor dessert being served at birthday parties I attended as a kid. My intention is to write a blog post with the headline “Bowled Over,” but the timing gets away from me.

I am thrilled when I learn Caruso’s Grocery is coming to Pike and Rose in N. Bethesda, taking over the back room of Owen’s Ordinary (now Owens Tavern & Garden), which is also owned by NRG Group. While it’s challenging to open a restaurant, perhaps now more than ever, there are numerous factors that make this endeavor less of a risk.

“Even though the bar at Owens does quite well there, the restaurant part itself never really came back from the pandemic,” says Adler.  “The space is already built out. We just needed to make some small aesthetic changes. We have a kitchen that’s already built out, which is the very expensive part. So, we made the decision to move forward in May or June 2022 and were able to get the restaurant open by the beginning of December.”  Adler says reservations for its first week of operation were filled within 36 hours. The customer base continues to grow and patrons of the DC location, who were already coming from Montgomery County, are happy to have a location nearby.

I make a beeline to Pike & Rose during Caruso’s opening weekend. I am delighted by creamy burrata on a bed of pesto and spicy seafood fra diavolo with clams, mussels, calamari, and shrimp over fresh tagliatelle. The dish still leaves its mark on the sweater I wore that night, and I’m not mad about it.

There is much about the enjoyment of food that is tied to memory. Caruso’s Grocery’s success begins for the owners and many of the customers with nostalgia. My return to the restaurant is rooted in experiences based on previous visits. And making new memories is just as significant as recreating old ones.

Caruso’s Grocery at Pike and Rose is open for dinner Wednesday through Saturday beginning at 5:00PM and  Sundays beginning at 4:00PM and for lunch Wednesday through Sunday from noon – 2:30 pm.

The space formerly housing the café at Oklahoma City Museum of Art (OKCMOA) has transformed into something far more interesting. To step inside the new, extended dance version of the OKCMOA Store is to step into a world of pure imagination, dotted with beautiful objects created by the likes of Dale Chihuly and Jonathan Adler, served up alongside sparkling flutes of Champagne and fairytale-grade pastries crafted by Ganache Patisserie. (Pastry) case in point: the MOA Tart’s pistachio frangipane with dark cherries, milk chocolate ganache, raspberries and gold spark.

The Ganache + Museum Store collab is a fanciful, artful, delicious solution to an equation OKCMOA has been puzzling over for years. How to offer visitors refreshment without the challenge of being a restaurateur? The museum had tried four or five different business models and partnered with some of our city’s most venerated hospitality groups, but the code seemed uncrackable, even as the Downtown/Midtown restaurant scene blossomed.

The Store performed. “And that is what has allowed us to take over this space. When we decided to exit the restaurant business, I was looking at the space. At the time, we had just landed the Jonathan Adler account, which was two years in the making, and I had already started moving some pieces in just to trim out some of the areas of the restaurant,” Bruner says. Running the bar was another piece of the puzzle, as was figuring out how to feed visitors enough — but not too much. Bruner jokes, “I’m used to being on the other side of the bar. But it’s such a beautiful space. And it’s so clean and modern and full of air and space. It just felt right. And so we talked with our CEO, and it was such a quick decision.”

He had a little more than a month to move the store to its grand new spot. Kismet stepped in, in the form of Bruner’s husband, Michael, who is the visual director for Macy’s at Penn Square, and who had access to a warehouse filled with fixtures which he helped curate for Bruner’s use. “There are several tables that I’m using now that actually are handbag tables that had Michael Kors on them. Macy’s just really came through.”

Next task? Wooing the folks at Ganache, already established in Chisholm Creek. “We wanted to offer something that wasn’t broad, but we wanted it to be the best in its category. And Ganache is the best at what they do in Oklahoma City. As far as pastries, patisserie, sweet and savory options for a coffee or a tea — they own it. And it just felt right, that they should be in the Museum Store,” Bruner says. To his knowledge, OKCMOA is the only museum shop/wine bar/coffee shop tribrid in the country.

It’s also quickly becoming a global epicenter for collectors of Chihuly and Adler pieces, with a heavy smattering of local artists’ work (OKC artist Clint Stone designed the current T-shirt), jewelry, accessories, self-care and gifts at every price point, right down to museum-branded pencils, intentionally budget friendly for visiting schoolchildren.

“When we started selling Jonathan Adler, I didn’t realize that the Adler customer was also a Chihuly customer. So there have been several instances where we have sold a Jonathan Adler credenza, and then a Chihuly piece of glass that will sit on that credenza.” Bruner said his clients are visual people who make Adler or Chihuly their own, from wherever they are in the world. “We’ve shipped to Palm Springs, Palm Beach, Boston, Chicago, New York City, Beverly Hills. And then we’ve also shipped to Australia, Germany, the U.K. I had no idea. I had no idea the reach that it was going to hit. And it’s just been phenomenal.

We like stunning. If you do, too, do yourself a favor: Next time you find yourself between meetings downtown, take a break from the humdrum and pop in on Bruner and his merrymakers at the Museum Store. Browse. Peruse. Pick up a pastry, some prosecco and find a spot on the patio some sunny fall afternoon. We’ll see you there.

FAQ about Lemon Desserts

What the best way to zest a lemon? The best way to zest a lemon is with a microplane. This is a gadget that will get all the zest off a lemon easily.

How do I add lemon zest to a recipe? A pastry chef tip is to zest your lemon on top of the sugar in your recipe so that you save all the oils from the zest. If you zest the lemon into another bowl and then transfer it, you are losing some of the essential oils and flavor!

Can you freeze lemon desserts? Yes! You can freeze all of the recipes listed here at some form. Please check the individual recipe post to see the specific instructions.

WHY YOU SHOULD MAKE THIS RECIPE

  • It’s beautifully sweet and tart, with a delicate cherry flavor.
  • This cake is moist and fluffy, with a delicious crumb topping!
  • It’s versatile and can be served as a dessert or for breakfast.

INGREDIENTS NEEDED

  • All-Purpose Flour – Makes up the base of the crumb topping by adding its dry crumbly texture.
  • Brown & White Sugar – Creates a deliciously sweet crust on top of the cake.
  • Cinnamon – Gives the crumb topping its warm and fragrant flavor.
  • Salt – Balances out the sweetness.
  • Cold Butter – Makes the topping nice and crumbly when baked and adds buttery flavor.

For Cake

  • Pitted Cherries – I used fresh sweet cherries for this recipe, but you can use any variety you enjoy. Instructions on how to use frozen cherries are below.
  • Unsalted Butter – Adds flavor and moistness to the cake along with a buttery flavor.
  • Granulated Sugar – Sweetens up the base of the cake.
  • Egg – Binds all of the ingredients together and also adds richness to the batter.
  • Vanilla Extract – Adds a light vanilla flavor that enhances this dessert.
  • Buttermilk – This type of milk is perfect for baking because it’s thick and tangy and helps tenderize the flour.
  • Baking Powder & Baking Soda – Helps the cake to rise and become fluffy.
  • All-Purpose Flour – Gives the cake its structure.
  • Cinnamon – A small amount of cinnamon warms up the banana flavor and compliments the sweetness.
  • Salt – Balances out all of the flavors in the cake.
  • Optional Glaze – By using a mix of cream and powdered sugar, you can add a sweet drizzle to the top of the cake that rounds out all of the flavors.

HOW TO MAKE CHERRY COFFEE CAKE

Assemble the crumb topping: You’ll want to make this first so it has time to chill. Mix the flour, sugars, and salt into a bowl and whisk to combine. Add the cold butter to the mix and press it into the mixture using a pastry cutter or your fingers until damp crumbles form. Store in the fridge.

Prepare for baking: Preheat the oven to 350F. Spray a 10” springform pan with baking spray and set aside.

Mix the wet ingredients: Add the butter to the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment and cream on medium speed for one minute. Scrape down the sides and then add the sugar, egg, and vanilla extract making sure to scrape down the sides. Mix for one minute.

Assemble the dry ingredients: In another bowl, add the flour, baking powder, and baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Use a whisk to fully combine.

Create the coffee cake batter: Add the dry ingredients alternating with the buttermilk to the wet ingredients 1/3 at a time and mix until just combined.

Dust the cherries: Add the cherries to a bowl and add the remaining flour on top. Toss to combine. Mix them into the prepared batter lightly.

Bake, cool, and glaze: Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Top with the crumb mixture. Bake for 50-55 minutes or until the cake is set. Let it cool completely. Mix the sugar and cream until a glaze is formed, then drizzle it on top of the cooled cake. Let harden. Slice, serve, and enjoy!

TIPS FOR RECIPE SUCCESS

  • When mixing the wet and dry ingredients, do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough cake.
  • For the cherries, I like to use fresh sweet cherries, however, you can substitute frozen or even canned cherries. If using frozen, make sure to thaw them completely and drain any excess cherry juice before adding them to the batter.
  • If you don’t have buttermilk on hand, you can make a substitution by adding milk and vinegar. For every one cup of buttermilk needed, add one tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice to a measuring cup and then fill the rest of the way with milk. Give it a stir and let it sit for five minutes before using.
  • Everything except the butter for the crumb topping should be at room temperature. This will help everything mix together more easily and prevent any clumps.
  • Let the cake cool completely before glazing. This will help the glaze to set and not drip down the sides of the cake.
  • To properly measure out the dry ingredients, spoon the flour into the measuring cup and then level it off with a knife. Do not scoop the flour directly from the container as this will cause you to add too much.

VARIATIONS

  • For a fun twist, squeeze cherry juice into the glaze for a bright pink-colored frosting.
  • Instead of vanilla, use other flavor extracts such as almond, coconut, maple, butter, or cherry.
  • Substitute peaches, raspberries, or blueberries for the cherries for a fun summer dessert.
  • Make a cherry almond cake by adding sliced almonds to the batter along with the cherries.

STORAGE AND FREEZING

Storing: This cherry cake can be stored at room temperature, in the fridge, or in the freezer. If stored at room temperature, it’s best to keep it in an airtight container or wrapped tightly. It will stay fresh for about four days stored this way. If you need to store it for longer, pop it in the fridge where it will last for up to one week.

Freezing: To freeze, wrap the cherry cake tightly in plastic wrap, then place it in a freezer-safe bag. Remove as much air as possible before sealing. The cake will stay fresh for up to three months frozen. When you’re ready to enjoy, thaw overnight in the fridge or for a few hours on the counter.

Recipe FAQ

What pan is best for coffee cake? I like to use a springform pan but you can use any 9″ round cake pan as long as you spray it well with baking spray and/or line it with parchment paper.

How do you pit the cherries? You can use a cherry pitter or poke the cherries with a sturdy straw to push out the pit.
