2 sheets frozen shortcrust /puff pastry
3 medium sized peaches, pitted and sliced
About half punnet of blueberries or whatever berries/cherries are at hand.
1/3 cup sugar plus extra for sprinkling
1 teas spoon vanilla essence
1 heaped tablespoon of plain or corn flour
A big handful of almonds : roughly chopped
1 egg, splash of milk, whisked together for egg wash optional ( If you want to get an Oscar you should swish it with this )

• Preheat oven to 200 degrees C.
• Let the pastry sheets thaw a little but not too much so they sag like an actress who has #forgottenspanx
• Place pastry sheets on top of each other and roll out to 30cm round with a rolling pin. So it’s as smooth as Botox #NicoleKidman
• Throw the pastry onto baking paper on a baking tray. #sorry. It will never look like a cake from Mendls from the Grand Budapest Hotel. Bless.
• Chop up and edit the fruit and toss into large bowl.
• Sprinkle the sugar and vanilla over the fruit and mix together #LikeBirdman
• Then sprinkle over the flour and toss gently. #likeagatecrasher.
• Place fruit ever so chicly into the middle of the pastry, leaving 2-3 cm space around the side.
• Roll up the sides of the pastry into a pie shape over the sides of the fruit, leaving an open smiling face. #Julieanne Moore.
• Brush the egg wash onto the pastry #likebronzer.
• Sprinkle a bit more sugar and the almonds over the fruit and pastry.
• Bake in oven for 30 minutes or until fruit is cooked and the pastry has browned as J.LO and is cooked underneath like #Gonegirl. It won’t take as long as Boyhood.
• Leave it for about 10 mins to cool on a rack while the paparazzi get their shot.
• Serve with lashings of cream and the Theory of everything.
