Fig, Pear and Plum Tart, Vanilla-Flavored Ricotta Cream
You know why I am happy today?
I bought a few plane tickets!
I am always happy to do this, I must admit. Travel and Food are the best of the two worlds!
So if you have any tips as to what to do and see in and around Copenhagen, please let me know! I have always wanted to visit this city and Denmark. So even if it will only happen in a few months, I am already excited and thinking about it!
Happy Sunday! We are off for a Sunday picnic again tomorrow, with little tartlets to nibble on!

Hi Bea! Your stories are always so refreshing and cheerful,they always make me smile (maybe you’re always happy because you’re always thinking of delicious food…..) I love your blog,and of course,the pictures!!!! They’re magical. I would like to experiment with some of the flours you mention here,but unfortunately,they’re very hard to come by in my country…..perhaps I’ll pick some up while traveling.
Thank you for sharing your passion with all of us.Have a nice weekend!!
I’m excited for you and a bit jealous too! Your tarts always look so good 🙂
Ces tartelettes sont plus qu’alléchantes et donnent le sourire en ce dimanche matin morose!
Mmmm… What a photograph!
I loved going to the Tivoli Park in the center of Copenhagen. It’s a century old amusement park, full of old fashioned charm, restaurants, music, chinese lanterns… You get the drift.
The little mermaid is somewhat disappointing, but you can’t go there and not see it, can you? Also, it’s worth taking one of the boat trips off the haven.
Your pictures, recipes and writing always make me drool… 🙂 So now that you’re heading to my kneck of the woods I finally get a chance to give back a little…
When visiting Copenhagen, there’s a few must-do things:
Take a boat tour of the canals and harbour to get a feel for the city. You’ll spend 2 minutes with the little mermaid…plenty in my view
Visit Christiania – the free-town – which sadly won’t be around in its currrent form much longer
Visit Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek – a fantastic art museum – and the café in the winter garden is one of my favourite hideaways on a rainy day!
If it’s a sunny, warm autumn day, have a beer in Nyhavn alongside the old sailing ships and enjoy some serious people watching
Take a walk around Assistentens Kirkegård – a cemetery on Nørrebro, the SoHo of Copenhagen. Afterwards take a walk around the streets of Nørrebro and enjoy all the small shops, cafés etc.
Visit the art museum Louisiana in Humlebæk north of the city — a beautiful part of Denmark and a fantastic museum
Eat at Noma — if you can get a table. Modern Nordic cooking at its best — has just earned its second Michellin star
Eat smørrebrød for lunch, the Danish open faced sandwich speciality. I recommend places like Restaurant Sankt Annæ, Gitte Kik or Told & Snaps rather some of the tourist traps…
By the way: You should have visited this week instead, when the Copenhagen Cooking festival is taking place!
Enjoy!
Lars
Superbes, comme d’habitude! Je ne me lasse jamais de tes photos…
Travel and food r the best of the two worlds
gorgeous, i agee with u~
Ces petites tartelettes sont très tentantes.
Bon dimanche !
Oh Bea…most days I wish I were you ….always making yummy food, yet still so skinny…always getting to travel…and then taking fantastic pictures of both. Sigh. 🙂
So excited for you, Bea. And these tartlets are so wonderful, too!
Acheter des billets d’avion c’est vraiment un de meilleurs cadeaux qu’on puisse se faire. Tout plein de promesses a venir.
I’m seeing tartlets abound. Such lovely tarts bea and indeed perfect to take on a picnic.
I love to come back to your website – amazing pictures and great recipes!!!
As a Dane living in Boston, I just thought I would add to Lars’ excellent tips…(althoug he mentioned the essentials!)
When in Copenhagen do as the locals; bike. It’s a great way to explore the city. There are free City bikes available around town (and they even come with a map).
A walk on ‘Voldene’ is a nice way to get a great view of the city.
Shopping favorites: Latin quarter, Kronprinsensgade, Gl. Kongevej, Nansensgade, Østerbrogade…
Head to some of the nice parks for a peaceful, romantic getaway. E.g ‘Frederiksberg Have’ or ‘Kongens Have’ where the Rosenborg Castle also is situated.
Enjoy your trip!
Bea..your tartlette looks so good 🙂
..and happy adventure!
Happy travels! I look forward to seeing what your camera and your words find… and beautiful pictures, as always.
Enjoy your trip! When do you leave? Great photographs, yet again!
I’m just too jealous, you lucky fish! And your little tarts look delicate and scrumptious. Well done. I can’t wait to see your photo’s from the up coming trip.

oh how i wish you would publish the recipe for this! I jut got some beautiful little pears from an orchard in sonoma and would love to make a pear tart but they all include almond cream and apricot jam, which is great, but soooo ordinary and I do not feel like almond with my pears just now so I would love to make this one! Please post it!
