[...] Why start now, you may wonder. Why jump on a bandwagon that’s arguably already on its way to the car park of passé trends? I claim coercion: the strawberries made me do it. There’s just something about those plump little fruits, with their fat bottoms and bright blush, that compels me to celebrate their beauty. [...]

[...] balance the cake and keep things interesting. The only problem with this dessert is that, well- I’ve made it before. Sure, that time it was a tart, not a cake, and yes, it had a successful mascarpone filling instead [...]

I’ve been looking for something like this and it looks perfect – will try tonight. As everything with me needs chocolate, may try brushing the pastry case with dark melted chocolate – you never know!

“having a food blog has made me immediately wary of any too-simple recipe. ” HAHAHA – isn’t that the truth?! Sometimes I just want to make something simple and my boyfriend reminds me that my teeny, tiny readership doesn’t want to hear about some ‘basic, easy’ dinner that anyone could do in 5 minutes.

I love fresh summery tarts using a nice basic pastry dough & nicely flavored (i.e. booze & zest) mascarpone. YUM! Well done.

Chris- Hey! You should make this, it tastes as good as it looks. Actually, make that better.

Ashley- I know what you mean. I was lucky enough to get a huge tub of it on sale last week. It only took me about 3 days to use it all up, worryingly.

Dawn- Hi, it’s so great to “see” you over here! ;) I really love the Jamie’s Italy book- I really don’t want to return it to the library at the end of the month. I checked out the Spaghetti alla Trapanese- it looks so good! Will have to make that before the book goes home.

It looks fantastic Ele!! I have the Jamie Italy cookbook and I am quite impressed with some of the recipes in it- especially the Spaghetti alla Trapanese.

Mmm gorgeous tart! I’m obsessed with mascarpone though I so very rarely buy it because it’s expensive.
