Berry Tarts

I've had this recipe for several years and finally got around to making these Memorial Day weekend. Vanilla pastry cream in a sweet pastry crust. Then topped with apricots lightly sauteed in butter and apricot preserves with blueberries added. Next up is chocolate pastry cream in a chocolate pastry crust with fresh raspberries. Then when local peaches are here it'll be time to try the peach thyme tart variation.  This time of year is perfect for do many foods!

    Pastry cream is the nectar of the gods. The chocolate tart gave me chills. These tarts look incredible!

C and I took an incredible trip to Italy last year, making our way through much of beautiful Tuscany. We were stunned by the rich history and the art but also, of course, the food! Rome left an indelible mark in our hearts' memory with what is arguably the king (or cween) of all pastas: pasta carbonara. The dichotomy of the dish lies in its simple ingredients (pasta, cheese, bacon and black pepper, if you're a rebel) plus the crucial combination of timing and chemistry to avoid an unappealing egg scramble and divine a sauce so silky and smooth you could cry. After much research, my first attempt was a success. I have since repeated it 3 times just to be sure it wasn't a fluke. Because, you know... science.                                                         Before    ...
