‘Pastry School’ cookbook: Recipes from gluten-free lemon meringue pie to roasted rhubarb and raspberry tart
Graduate beyond the banana bread you’ve now mastered with one of these modern classics, writes Julie Jones
Roasted rhubarb and raspberry tart
Fruit tarts are so delicious yet simple, really. Pastry, custard, fruit… that’s it. I never feel the need to glaze the fruit as the natural flavours and vibrant colours are splendid enough as they are. The arrangement of the fruit is what gives this tart the wow factor, and for that reason they are among my favourite things to make. I can faff about for ages… creating a beautiful fruit topping, adding texture with pastry shapes and bursts of fresh flavour with herbs and edible flowers. I have used a selection of summer fruits here, but really you can use anything you like, depending on season, availability and personal preference.
