Ricotta Tart with Honey and figs Tarta de ricotta con higos y miel)

When some ask  me why  I have a blog of recipes, I dont know what to say, how to explain the passion, the love that you put in all you make ?? (and is a really work :)) It is difficult explain  It's an art. When I prepare a post is like when you go to paint.  You see the recipe. .  Looking, read many things. And finally you decide to do and how to use those figs (in this case) that especially  bought one day  when you went to the city. (and was  exquisite) Then I think as like I wanna make the post : simple, rustic, elegant all depends on the recipe. And finally the photos. Search light, the place and all that. That day remove the photos and then it started raining :) It's a delicious recipe, seriously and made with love. That's what I do here. I cook and bake with love and sometimes share on my blog.
