It is time again for the “Secret recipe club” reveal! I am sure you all know what the club is about, but for the few of you who still don’t know about it, here goes a brief explanation. It is a great concept… each month you are assigned a participating food blogger to make a recipe from and in turn someone else will be assigned your blog. All you have to do is choose a recipe, make it and blog about it on the specified date. The only rule is to keep it a secret! If you are interested in learning more, or want to join the club, please visit the Secret recipe club website.
This month I was assigned the Painted Apron, written by the very talented Jenna. Jenna lives in Alabama and she’s very artistic. In fact, she writes: “It is my sincere wish to inspire creativity in you, give you some jumping off points, and help you enjoy some new creations of your own”. She has so many delicious recipes on her blog! The moment I saw these Rosemary Pine Nut Sablés though, I was sold. I love herbs in sweets and cookies, so I couldn’t get these out of my mind and I was so happy I made them. They are delicious! They remind me of an Italian dish called Castagnaccio, made with chestnut flour, rosemary and pine nuts. These cookies are buttery, crumbly, nutty and with a hint of rosemary… simply perfect! I will be making them again! Do try them and let me know!

I absolutely love the idea of having a savory sable – can’t wait to make these!!
What an interesting cookie recipe. I’ve never tried this type before, but they sound tasty.
I had your blog this month Manuela, and made a grain free version of your yummy Pumpkin Risotto. I LOVED it!
Happy reveal day!
So glad you liked these Manu! I’ll be whipping up a batch for Thanksgiving snacking!
These savory sables look great. Seems like a perfect treat to add to your Thanksgiving cheeseboard. Wonderful SRC post!
Wow what an elegant choice for this month’s SRC. These look lovely and they sound lovely too…I love the subtle sweetness mixed with the savory.
These look the perfect snack to make for a holiday party. Great SRC choice!
