Hey Sarah;) It tasted pretty bloody good! Strawberries work wonderfully. Small blueberries. Redcurrants or blackcurrants! (The tough-skinned berries need a little softening first.) Anything that has a little acid and some fragrance, basically. Mmmmm. Bring on spring!

Duncan,

That tart looks incredible. Raspberries, pate sablee and creme patissiere are 3 of my favourite foods. I hate how expensive raspberries are here too! I might have a go of this tart if I'm ever in Europe in summer again, and can blanket the whole thing in cheap cheap raspberries. Would there be any other fruits that would work well with that tart?

xox Sarah

p.s. Hehehehe at your opening sentence.

Hello Windwalker. The recipe in its simplest form is there. Most people have cookbooks with recipes for the two ingredients (the pâte sablée and the crème pâtissière), so it felt unnecessary to do a full write-up. I hope you make one and enjoy!

The tart looks delicious, do you plan on posting the recipe some time in the future. I live in Tassie with berry farms, owned by friends, just down the road so blueberries, raspberries and strawberries are readily available also I have 4 gooseberry bushes so I suppose you could say we are berry well supplied.

@Goldie: Thanks… but I think you overestimate the quality of Laurent! I didn't realise raspberries were a rarity in parts of QLD.

@Amelita: do people who don't like crappy raspberries get shot too?!

That look so yummy - you could give Laurent a run for their money. I love raspberries but we don't get them often in QLD and the supermarket ones are crap.

Thanks Y! Strawberries would have been a cheaper option but, well, we know how rarely Aus strawberries are worth it… I'm waiting for the ones in my garden to do their thing!

Tart looks fab. It's a pity raspberries are so horribly expensive. When affordable, the best way to decorate with berries is to go OTT - which I can only do while at work.
