Tarte Tatin par excellence
My French friends are celebrating Bastille Day.
Le quatorze juillet is the Fete nationale, commemorating the storming of the
Bastille prison in Paris on 14 July 1789 during the French Revolution.
Festivities are held all over France to mark this event and it’s an opportunity
to eat a splendid French dessert.
Grandma knew all about my love of French cuisine
from when I lived in France. One of my favourite puddings is the famous ‘Tarte
Tatin’. The story goes that the Tatin sisters were cooking an Apple
pie but left it too long in the oven. Their rescue attempt involved turning it
upside down and, much to their surprise, their guests loved the result. So it
just goes to show that you should never be too worried if your baking isn’t
quite what you expected it to be!
There are lots of fantastic recipes for Tarte
Tatin. Here’s Felicity Cloate’s version of How to cook the perfect Tarte Tatin. I'd use less sugar just like
Grandma!
And it’s Le Tour
de France on TV just now and a chance to see the amazing scenery of this beautiful
country. Have you got a favourite French
dessert?
