One thing we all love about winters is fresh and colourful fruits and vegetables, out of which I love lush red strawberries, amazing and soft Pears and tender persimmons. Being a passionate Baker I love to include these colourful fruits in my baked recipes.

Baked, Pear and Persimmon Galette makes a wonderful Sunday breakfast for my family. This dish is slightly sweet and soft from inside and is extremely crunchy from outside. This authentic French recipe makes everyone's mouth water.
