It is without a doubt that if you have been following me lately, you would notice how excited I was for the release of the new album LUST FOR LIFE by Lana Del Rey. I have played it countless times already. More than 45 times on my MacBook alone, knowing that I listen to music on my phone WAY more.

Ever since one of the songs was shared in a video snippet from one of the rehearsals, I fell in love with it and was so eager listen to the official release. There was nothing that disappointed me when I listened to it in the album. I fell in love with it even more.
The way Lana paints images with her choice of words is inspiring. It was so inspiring that I couldn’t help but take her words and descriptions and materialize them!

Cherry…
It is cherry season and Lana brings her songs with plenty of fruit references, but this time, it was a recipe in a song. Cherry and wine, rosemary and thyme!
I went in the kitchen to play, and came out with a gorgeous pie… All while playing the album on repeat.
I expect you to do the same!
The pie is a sweet mix of flavors. You can’t go wrong with a flakey crust. The filling is a sweet and tart mix from the slightly sweetened dark cherries, and a pungent kick of wine flavored with rosemary and thyme. It is a burst of flavor that gently serenades your taste buds on the mellow tempo of the song Cherry!

Cherry Pie with Red Wine, Rosemary and Thyme
Ingredients
- 2 pieces (500g) Shortcrust pie pastry
- 1400g dark red tart cherries
- 5 tbsp brown sugar
- 6 tbsp corn starch
- 2 cup wine
- Juice from the cherries
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 twig rosemary
- 5-6 French thyme twigs
- 1 egg
- 2 tbsp cream
- Sugar and salt for sprinkling
Procedure
- Start by mixing the pittes cherries with the sugar and allow them to rest until all the juices are out
- Steep and reduce 2 cups wine with the juice from the cherries, the sugar, rosemary and thyme until reduced to almost one cup and let cool
- Roll out half of the pie pasrty until it’s almost the size of your pie dish. Lay over the pie dish and let it hang. Cool in the fridge
- Roll out the other half of the pie dough until its lenght is the same as the pie dish. Cut into uniform strips then cool in the fridge for a lattice pattern
- Once the wine is cool, remove the herbs and add the corn starch and mix well. Add to the cherries and slide into the chilled pie plate
- Take the chilled strips of dough and arrange into a lattice pattern (or lay it flat and cut holes in it for steam to escape)
- Whisk the egg with cream and some salt and brush generously on top of the pie and sprinkle with brown sugar. This helps it glisten and creates a rough crips texture on top
- Bake in a preheated oven at 200ºC for 10 min on the lower rack to brown and seal the bottom then move to the middle rack at 180ºC for 40-50 min until its bubbling and the top has browned
- Allow it to cool completely before slicing and serving with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream!
