77. Lemon Tart (Avoca cafe cookbook)

Avoca Cafe Cookbook (1) 

Rating: 5/5 

Comment:  Absolutely perfect. Just the right balance of lemon to cream to eggs. Everyone loved it. Served with raspberry coulis. The recipe creates a huge amount of filling so depending on my mood I either reduce the quantities or make up some mini tarts (usually the former).

Use it again: Yes.

Other nice newly tried recipes: Tuscan Bean soup, chicken marinated in honey and mustard, herb crusted cod, banana bread. 

74. Lemon Tart (L Pascale)

Comment: Nice but a little too citrusy. I overcooked the pastry a little and also did not roll it out thin enough. There was a little too much lemon rind for my liking -  uses juice and rind of 5 lemons. The pastry is meant to include poppy seeds but I forgot!
Use it again: Possibly.
Lovely recipes from this book: Fudge brownies, classic victoria sponge, pavlova, Chocolate cake, Chocolate melting pots, Soda bread, Strawberry and mascarpone swiss roll, baked plaice with rosemary and anchovies, mini toad-in-the-hole, Focaccia, glam mac and cheese, mini dark chocolate and raspberry swirl cheesecakes. 
Avoid: Banana and Honey Souffle, ginger and mascarpone creme bruelee.

Rating: 3/5
Comment:  This was fine - my pastry making skills aren't brilliant. Strawberries would be better (which is what's meant to be used).
Use it again: Possibly, but I'm more likely to try a similar recipe from a different book.

Lovely recipes from this book: Chocolate Roulade with raspberries and cream, apple pudding, rhubarb pudding, lemon tea cake. 
Average but still nice: Sweet corn and coriander cakes with tomato salsa, maple roast parsnips, jane's biscuits, cauliflower and cheese soup. 
Avoid: Chocolate fudge mousse, chocolate tart.
