Tuesdays with Dorie: French Pear Tart
 |
Happy New Year and happy baking in 2009! TWD starts its 2 nd year and the first recipe in 2009 on page 368-369 from Baking: From my home to yours: French Pear Tart has been chosen by the author herself Dorie Greenspan I am not very happy with my result: First I prebaked the tart shell a bit too long and then I fanned my pears lengthwise. No comparison with this. But isn't it the taste that count? This tart served only four: Two adults and two very hungry teenager |
