I studied Hotel Management and during our 2nd year, we went on an exchange tour to France. During one of the outings, we watched a chef make a perfect upside-down apple tart. He flipped the pan and voila, the most beautiful upside-down cake appeared.

I have always been too scared to make an upside-down anything because you never know until it is too late if it worked or not. This upside-down cake seems pretty easy though, right?

I have used cardamom a few times in my baking and it does take some getting used to but does add an interesting flavour to a dish.

Some interesting facts about cardamom

It is the third most expensive spice in the world

It is rich in a number of nutrients including iron, magnesium, potassium and traces of Vitamin C.

You can chew the seeds to freshen your breath.

Pistachios are also a nut we don’t generally use but used with the cardamom and peach it makes for a delicious desssert.

Pistachios also have some great benefits like a healthier gut, lower cholesterol, and blood vessel health. They are also great sources of healthy fats, fiber, protein, antioxidants, and various nutrients.
