When I saw that Deb said "this isn't as hard as it looks", I went "yeah right" and I was still newer at cooking. She was right, and it was incredible. I made it for a NYE party and it was a major hit and tasted great.

Very good. I thought the dip was unnecessary. It looked impressive and tasted good

Huge hit for the app at a dinner party with four of us sitting around the coffee table with glasses of rose. Next time I might try pesto for a filling. The dip is simple, but the lemon adds an extra dimension. It is fiddly, but Deb's instructions are spot on. Used Defours pastry and I think it could have made a 12 inch circle, but went for 10 per her note.

Yum! This makes a lot of dip and the rest will go well with some cut up veggies or on a sandwich. My feta was very salty so I added a bit of Greek yoghurt to dilute the dip.

This is a beautiful appetizer that is a HUGE return on effort, especially since I subbed jarred pesto for the tapenade. Added feta crumbles also. Notes to self: Bake on parchment, less oily pesto, smaller cheese crumbles.

This creates a show-stopping appetizer for surprisingly little effort. Both the tapenade and feta spread come together easily and can be made in advance. Following Perelman's instructions, creating the "soleil" is quite simple. My package of puff pastry contained two sheets of dough, and each sheet was large enough for a twelve inch circle. You only need two packages if yours are small.

This is lovely- deceptively easy, takes 40 minutes start to finish! Perfect for guests and parties
