Notes about Recipes in this book

• Individual rhubarb tarts in a corn flour crust

  • mfeldman51 on May 12, 2012

    Absolutely delicious. The tarts look raggedly when first made, but freezing them is a brilliant stroke.

• No worries apple galette

  • Avocet on December 04, 2019

    Excellent, and very easy. I used my regular pie dough (not sweetened) and a mix of Granny Smith, Sweet Tango and Jazz apples, and used cardamom as the seasoning. Sprinkled turbinado sugar over the dough and top of the apples. It even warmed up well the next day.

• Silky tart dough

  • Astrid5555 on July 06, 2013

    Quick and easy tart shell for all kinds of fruit tarts. Love the fact that this dough is made via the creaming method and does not require a rolling pin.

• Huckleberry cream tart

  • Astrid5555 on August 25, 2015

    Excellent! Made in a rectangular tart pan with wild blueberries as suggested, looked really pretty. Very similar to the "Cream tart with black raspberries", but less sweet. Maybe because of the addition of coconut sugar instead of maple sugar in the filling?

  • Astrid5555 on August 02, 2021

    Update: this tart is still a regular summer bake in our household, and no matter which sugar I use in the filling, it is perfect for those who are not into cloyingly sweet desserts like my family is.

• Cream tart with black raspberries

  • Astrid5555 on July 06, 2013

    Delicious with all kinds of berries, especially wild blueberries. Have made several times already with big success.

  • emiliang on July 02, 2018

    This was simple enough to make, but it's closer to a cake than to a tart. There is no crispness or bite to the crust. Great for a quick dessert or with coffee, but it's not a tart.

• One-eyed, two-eyed gooseberry fold-over tart

  • Nancith on June 07, 2014

    Finally, a tasty recipe that uses all those gooseberries my husband grows in his garden! I must have rolled the dough a bit too thin because the filling exploded through in several places. Wish Debra Madison had been a bit more specific about the size to roll the dough. Definitely recommend this if you like a lip-puckering pie & can find gooseberries.

• Tangelo-tangerine pudding

  • bching on January 03, 2014

    would work with almost any citrus juice. Servings are very small.

• Fresh and dried cranberry, orange, and walnut tart

  • tarae1204 on February 06, 2021

    Beautiful and flexible tart that tastes like Christmas on a plate. The pate brisee is enhanced with brown sugar and orange zest. In my filling, I used thawed frozen cranberries in lieu of fresh, dried cherries in lieu of dried cranberries, sliced tangerine instead of sliced orange, and a mix of pecans and walnuts. Turned out well.

• Berry and peach cobbler with corn flour cobbles

  • mjes on August 24, 2021

    Delicious but I'm not convinced that corn flour has an advantage over other flours e.g. a wheat and barley mix.

• Warm apricots with honey and yogurt

  • mooo42 on May 29, 2018

    Easy, quick, tasty dessert for two or one.

• Fine Cooking

  With restraint, reverence, and a sure hand, she crafts amazing desserts that honor all that’s glorious about in-season fruit.

• Eats Well with Others

  I can, however, advocate that you buy this cookbook. Because, especially if you like fruit. And dessert. I can guarantee that you will not be disappointed. Just ask my mother.

  While she speaks from a place of a regular farmers' market customer, there is nothing in this book that can't be made with fruit from your own backyard or your corner supermarket.
