Today was a pretty successful day in the kitchen. On the list to recipe test were an idea for a lemon meringue tart - based on Arlene's infamous lemon meringue pie and a Raspberry Frangipane Creme Tart. Raspberry Frangipane Cream Tart I will start with the Raspberry Tart. The result was pretty right on. Need some tweaking - mainly in the pastry crust. I think that needs to be tweaked all the way around as it was the same recipe I used for the Lemon Meringue Tart as well. Will be playing with that over the next week. The Vanilla Creme Patisserie was just downright fabulous! My first attempt at Frangipane was much more successful than I had anticipated. It took me some searching to find just how fine I needed to grind the almonds, silly it seems. Its always very difficult to tell if you have something right the first time you attempt a new skill and have no idea what the standard is. Thank goodness for the internet and youtube, although you can't taste tes
