The other night, after dinner Mr. Urban took my parents and our girl on a walk.
I stayed behind to sit and look out the window, although I could really use the walk myself. But I am lazier than usual these days.
It could be this huge bump that I am carrying around my midsection all day long. A bump endearingly named Lemon by our girl.
I never did sit and look at the window. The prospect of being along in the kitchen with my cookbooks was too delicious.
Serendipitously, I found the easiest recipe for summer fruit tarts. By the time the lovies returned we had two tarts and a pot of coffee to celebrate with!
If you like to make some tarts tonight just get some rectangular puff pastry, organic fresh fruits (I made one apple and 1 peach tart), a spoon or so of organic cane sugar, a few drops of vanilla and lemon juice and some powder sugar.
Cut the fruits into thin wedges and mix with a spoon or so of sugar, vanilla and lemon juice. Place the puff pastry (I cut the pastry to appx. 5 inch by 8 inch) on a parchment paper lined oven pan. Arrange the fruits on the pastry and then place the pan in a 415 degree heated oven for approximately 20 minutes. Remove, dust with powdered sugar and get ready to dazzle your audience (and your taste buds)!
