I'm always happy when I publish a fresh post because it means new content and I get to share it with you guys.
Myself and 11 other bloggers have joined forces to help grow your cookbook collection. I love turning to my own books for inspiration, awesome photography and all kinds of recipes to suit every occasion.
I would love to have any one of these books in my kitchen, let alone a dozen of them. My contribution to the pot was, A Kitchen In France by Mimi Thorisson.
Mimi writes for her blog, Manger and lives with her large family, including 14 dogs in Medoc, France. I chose Mimi's book because her style of cooking is simple.
Don't let that make you think her recipes are boring because they're far from it. Her dishes are rustic, seasonal and family style friendly.
Chicken and Ham Pie, Roast Sausages with Fennel and Blood Orange Chocolate Tartlets are just a few I'd love to try. You might as well check out our artichoke hearts recipe!
For now, this Lemon Tart from Manger will have to do. It's intense lemon flavor makes you pucker up a little, but for me that's exactly how a lemon tart should be.
Baked in a simple pre-made pastry crust, there's no need for this tart to be perfect around the edges. Just like Mimi and her rustic Medoc farmhouse this tart fits right in with her style.I used a 9 inch cast-iron skillet, so the filling is on the thin side, but you could use a traditional tart pan.
You may have to adjust the cooking time though. Best served after chilling in the fridge for a few hours.
