Monday was a great start to the week, but sometimes you need a little something to help you cope with the rest of it.

Here’s a sweet little strawberry tart from Lori Longbotham’s incredible Luscious Berry Desserts. I bought this cookbook last year and indulged in some recipes both here and here.

This one is a gem and comes together quite quickly. All you do is roll out some puff pastry and bake it. Make up a batch of your favourite pastry cream and spread it over the cooled tart base. Then top with some beautiful, fresh strawberries and some melted strawberry jam for a quick glaze.

Here’s hoping you make it through the rest of the week!

Ciao!

Wow, I am amazed at how easy that seems and how impressive the result is. I am closing my eyes and picturing this with all kinds of different fruits and berries! I am also picturing the reaction that I would get from my boys if served a treat like this!

Sounds like the perfect start to a week to me! Mmmmm!


07/11/08 at 10:30 pm

Sounds really easy but I would probably make my own puff pastry since I’m weird like that :)


07/12/08 at 11:21 am

What a glorious-looking tart! I hope it got your through the rest of the week :)

I love Lori Longbotham’s books. Have you read Luscious Lemon Desserts? One of my absolute favourites.


07/13/08 at 11:43 pm

Hey I think I could cope with anything if I had a slice of that :D


07/14/08 at 2:22 pm

kindred spirits! i cope exactly the same way, for exactly the same made-up/whatever reasons. monday? cope. tuesday? cope. 4pm? pie.


07/17/08 at 3:36 pm

Gorgeous and yummy, too, Ivonne. I still haven’t cranked up my oven since vacation…As far as coping goes, I retired nearly two years ago, and well, things are much easier ;) But I’ll always want pie!


07/18/08 at 1:39 pm

This truly is a be-utiful looking tart! I would love to try it but I’m not that famliar with using puff pastry. How much would one use and I am not also certain of the kind of pastry cream I would use. I would love to try it.yum!
