Pastry
Christmas tart
The pastry case, courtesy of Kate’s recipe adds a nice little crunch and the smooth custard topping mellows down the rich pudding. All you need to do is add a little dusting of icing and maybe a scoop of ice cream. Delicious.
Tomato, Onion and Anchovy Quiche
I needed something that could be easily nibbled on to keep us going during service, so I raided the cupboard and came up with a rather tasty quiche!
Rough-puff pastry
Rough-puff pastry works wonderfully for a tarte tatin. This is a blend of three recipes that I’ve tried, none of which worked very well on their own.
Raspberry tart (Girl pie)
This, coupled with the sweet paste recipe, will give you one of the nicest tarts around. It has a lovely soft, sweet texture that melts in the mouth.
Goats cheese tartlet with red onion chutney
Crumbly homemade pastry, soft warm goats cheese, and a sticky onion chutney. Impress your friends by serving these for dinner. They take a while to make, but are worth the effort every time.
