Friend and blogger, Katherine Martinelli, recently released her first e-book, Puff Pastry at Brunch
In the book, she shares ten fun recipes, transforming simple dishes into elegant fare, and they all use one common ingredient, puff pastry.
Katherine uses puff pastry to create a savory Breakfast Galette with Scrambled Eggs, Crème Fraîche, and Chives
Sweet and savory Maple-Cheddar Pinwheels
Smoked Salmon Eggs Benedict
and 7 other mouth-watering recipes
My favorite is her recipe for Cinnamon Buns with Cream Cheese Frosting.
But I have a thing for cinnamon buns
I enjoy working with puff pastry because it’s easy to use, it’s a fast way to create something fabulous, and it’s extremely versatile.
It can be used in so many recipes from cinnamon rolls to savory appetizers like I did in this Avocado, Cream Cheese, and Salsa-Stuffed Puff Pastry
Two lucky readers will win a digital copy of Katherine’s book.

I use puff pastry to make my mum’s famous family sausage roll recipe. The puff pastry is just so deliciously tasty and flaky – combining well with the sausage rolls recipe.

I’ve also spread chocolate and chopped hazelnuts on puff pastry and rolled and baked.
I would love to experiment more!
I had some puff pastry in my freezer for quite sometime. I thought I might make some Baklava. I didn’t make it because a lot of things happened in my life that I didn’t bake for a time. I am now interested in trying to do it again and perhaps use it also for a quiche that I make.
I used them to make tofu triangles. The puff pastry makes the meals look so expensive & chic!

I’ve used puf pastry but it was so long ago I don’t recall what it was for. I’d probably try a veggie pizza first thing. Maybe some cute appetizers.
I love to use it to make simple shells for tarts and pies!

i love puff pastry! especially spanikopita and italian rustic tarts – they use puff pastry as the pie crust and then fill it with any kind of savory item. it’s delish, to say the least. i’m loving all your giveaways as of late, even if i don’t win! :)
