How gorgeous does this little delight look? - The good news is it tastes even better than it looks! This week's Tuesdays With Dorie (lets ignore that it has just crept into Wednesday here in the Uk - I'm sure its still Tuesday somewhere in the world!)anyway...This weeks TWD pick came from the most lovely lady, Marie from A Year At Oak Cottage - I sincerely hope she is not only spending a year there because I am so addicted to reading her blog. Oak Cottage happily enough is in the Uk (although sadly nowhere near me as I may have been tempted to call on Marie). marie picked a recipe called La Pallette Strawberry Tart which made the most of some wonderful strawberries that we have around at the mo - In this age of thinking of food miles I love to make a recipe that can call on local ingredients (I have a blog entry coming soon that details another addition to the aardvark cakes family - no not another child but someone who lays eggs!)
Anyway, to get on...This tart was amazing - I used the Sweet Tart Dough and went along with Dorie's suggestion of adding ground almonds - I think I used a little too much butter but I love a good crunchy base so am not moaning. I even had some kirsch in the shed (I must have bought it ages ago for a really essential recipe and had never used it)
We are not listing the recipes anymore as a nod to copyrights/publishing rights which I believe to be quite right - I also thought it made my blog look really boring to have a huge long list of instructions - I do believe though that the 'chooser' may get to have the recipe listed - so have a look at Marie's blog - even if it is not there, it is well worth a visit.
Next week - Peppermint Cream Puffs - I am terrified!

Ooo looks delish! Awesome job! :o)
It was Wednesday for me. Great job!
That looks divine, not at all like there is too much butter. :-)
Almonds in the crust would be delicious with the strawberries. Great job!

Good to see someone else who values local ingredients! Your tart looks delicious. And, yes, I'm very nervous about next week's recipe, too.
great job! the strawberries are so tantalizing
Your tart looks lovely! Very well done! I didn't do it this time, but I have made this dough with almonds and it is wonderful.
your tart looks great, especially your crust, it looks moist.
This tart was so yum, it's my new favorite dinner party dessert! Next time I'll try the nut crust too!
There is no such thing as too much butter. Yum!
