As with anything in this book, you can make and eat any of the recipes whenever you fancy but this does feel more like an ‘occasion’ cake.
A lemon tart is a beautifully delicate dessert. The silky, buttery filling is zingy and fresh and would be perfect for a springtime evening dessert. A lightly infused basil cream brings some fragrance and playfulness.
Throughout the writing of this book, my husband, Miles, has been very concerned with the number of chocolate offerings (he worships chocolate). Don’t get me wrong, I like chocolate, too. Earthy and comforting, I find it’s a natural match for a pantry staple of mine: sesame oil.
If you have a tree overflowing with lemons, this recipe is a great way to use them up. You will need about four lemons for this recipe. I love the tartness and the silky texture of this lemony tart, and the crust is a versatile gluten-free beauty.
