The Art of The Tart
The Art of the Tart
Tamasin Day-Lewis

"A wide range of tarts from the old favourites to some new ideas....I particularly liked the idea of a section on 'Other People's Tarts' taking the best from other chefs and writers. Everything I've tried so far has been delicious (especially the Smoked Haddock Tart) and the book is beautifully presented."
