As usual, it's been a while since I've had a chance to blog, but the holidays got the best of me. I decided that my new year's resolution is to work on my dream restaurant concept and recipe test a menu item once a month. Today was my first test run. It went ok but not as smooth as I had hoped for. Hopefully next month will be better. I'm still in the beginning phase and am not yet ready to share my finished dishes, so...
For Christmas Eve I wanted to make something different. When I interned in Beziers, France, I fell in love with the lemon tarts that we made there. Not only did I think they looked beautiful, they tasted AMAZING! I decided to make one in the style of Maison CarraTie. The tart consists of a sweet shell, tart lemon curd and a delicate Italian meringue.
