This delicious dessert is from a talented cook, by the name of Nadiya Hussain. She has a Netflix series called Nadiya’s Time to Eat. I have watched the entire season 1, which has 7 episodes. Nadiya is in the United Kingdom. She creates simple dishes with a burst of flavor. As soon as I saw the Banana Tarte Tatin, I knew I had to give it a shot. Nadia used hazelnuts for her recipe but instead I substituted for walnuts. Thank you Nadiya for this delectable recipe!
