Galettes are a delightful way to enjoy the best of summer and fall, especially in Alaska, where rhubarb grows abundantly and blueberry picking is a cherished autumn activity. The beauty of a galette lies in its rustic charm—no need for a perfectly crimped pie crust here! Just roll out some dough, pile on your filling, and fold the edges for a simple, delicious dessert that looks as beautiful as it tastes.

In our Alaskan summers, rhubarb flourishes, so it’s common to find frozen bags stashed away for winter baking projects. The tartness of rhubarb pairs perfectly with the sweetness of a few precious Alaska blueberries, which can be a little trickier to find since many locals enjoy foraging for them in the fall. Together, the flavors create a balance of sweet and tangy, tucked into a flaky, buttery crust.
