Sweet Paul Tarts

The Spring issue of Sweet Paul is out!!! It is always a real delight to spend a time on a new project with Paul. Our collaborations - the ease of how we figure out this detail or that, what kind of feeling we want a shoot to convey, and also just getting the work done - make each new shoot a lot of fun to tackle. I hope you'll enjoy the playfulness and whimsy in this story. And you know, it was every bit as delicious as it looks... :)

 

An outtake of Paul getting this tart ready... (that honey was divine, and we used it on a number of things.)

Sweet-salty, juicy, herbacious... these are some words I would use to describe the flavors of these tarts.

The custard-y quality of eggs mixed with young veggies or herbs in tart shells, the soft creaminess of cheese - whether goat's, ricotta, pecorino, or other - where each a heavenly addition to these creations.

This tart was my favorite. Simply fantastical in its many pointy peaks, and yet quite practical in that sturdy pan! The piney fragrance of the rosemary, along with the savory sweetness of that honey (there it is again), set into the backdrop of chevre and young roasted beets, all wrapped in puff pastry... It was a surprising delight.

 

You can probably see by now how immensely satisfying the whole thing was, start to finish. Perhaps you'll make one of these for friends as a special meal to celebrate together. Or, maybe an easy (but glamorous-looking) fix to hunger on any night, to treat yourself right. Here's the story, with all the recipes to make for yourselves. Enjoy!

80+ degrees

I asked for a warm weather, but a HOT weather came along. For some reason, I am definitely not complaining; I will take a hot day over a cold day any day.
I guess that's the effect of growing up in a warm country hahaha! I really took advantage of the warm day--my outfit did the talking hehehe!
I want a Venetian mask. Does anyone know where I can get a good and affordable pairs????
Could you guys believe that today is the last day of April!!! My month [MAY] actually begins tomorrow. I was born in May, which means my BDay is fast approaching and I have been procrastinating on my plans for that day, so I doubt if I can pull through with what I want to do for my Bday. Well, I still have couple weeks to go.
**Thank God Tomorrow is Friday Yippeee!!!!

kisses
Thanks so so much for all you love and comments.

Dream with me: I Smell Spring

Gosh!! how I want to close and open my eyes and let it be spring. I am getting tired of the cold, especially when your too tiny like me, you could feel every bit of the cold. Don't get me wrong, I love the layering that comes with it; but I am so ready for my dresses. Lately I have been in the mood of maxi dresses. On occassion, I will just walk into my closet and just admire my maxi dresses and wonder how soon will I get to wear them. Now am jealous of those in warm states and countries. This is the part where I miss Nigeria--could we trade places? Anyone???

Here are some maxi dresses--dream with me :)
