052 "You Never Know Until You Try" with Britney Breaks Bread

Last Modified: Nov 7, 2024 · This post may contain affiliate links

"You never know until you try.” These are the words Britney’s grandmother used to coax Britney into eating her veggies. And after hearing Britney’s story I wonder - did Nanny know that these words would change her life, that they would become her mantra? I’m not sure. But “Just try” has lead Britney to many of her best experiences - learning piano, then bassoon, finally adding in the cello. Britney’s been to 33 countries, sampled many new cuisines, and most of all learned to live with a curiosity and fearlessness that many of us may envy. Britney’s “why not” attitude led her to begin her blog, titled “Britney Breaks Bread” (also an nod to her grandfather, as we’ll hear) and today, she’s sharing with us a hugely popular dessert from that blog - Apricot Cream Tart with a decadent caramel cookie base. 

Highlights

  • Who was BBB and Do you believe in ghosts?
  • The daughter of an ice cream distributor
  • Nanny & vegetables, music, and travel
  • Britney's most exciting culinary experiences when traveling
  • Curiosity, fear, and compassion
  • Starting her blog & this apricot cream tart
