The days when I was a Tart.....

Several years ago I decided that I wanted to master cheesecake, I wanted to be able to make the SaraLee Cheesecake that my grandmother always bought at the grocery store. It was a favorite of mine...and after some serious research I did find that exact recipe in a Gourmet magazine, which I still have and bust out anytime I want to make a cheesecake. I use that cheesecake recipe for a framework and I've experimented with it for years, augmenting it with all sorts of things, chocolate, berries, cookies, nuts, pumpkin, caramel....I even froze one, one time and then covered it with magic shell chocolate sauce (that one was my favorite)!

Why am I telling you about mastering the cheesecake? I have now decided to master the TART! My Sister gifted me with a sweet little book this weekend, all about Tarts....for me, a gauntlet thrown.....so, tonight, I used a combination of three recipes to bake this wonderful savory Tart:

ingredients: potato, red onion, pancetta, rosemary and fontina cheese, a little olive oil, salt and pepper and some corriander, (my favorite spice). I paired my savory tart with a caprese salad with the first red tomatoes out of my garden and my own garden basil! Yummmmmmm.....

And, for dessert:

Blueberry lemon tart!

I am sooooo going to Master the Tart!

(this is my way of making art and showing love) peace
