Cooking Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 200 degrees C.
- 2
Use a vegetable peeler to make the courgette into ribbons. Peel on 4 sides until you reach the seedy middle which should be in a cuboid shape (this is perfect to add to soups, pasta or omelettes).
- 3
Sprinkle with a small layer of salt.
- 4
Cut the asparagus lengthways so they are about 5mm thick (usually in half but may need to be in thirds).
- 5
Blend together the pesto ingredients until smooth, bright green. Adjust to taste.
- 6
Lay out the puff pastry sheet on a baking sheet with the attached baking paper.
- 7
Spread half the pesto in a layer over the puff pastry, leaving a border. You shouldn’t be able to see any pastry below the pesto so use more if needed.
- 8
Pat the courgette dry and, without breaking the ribbons, try and remove as much liquid as possible.
- 9
Lay the asparagus over the pesto then lay the courgette ribbons in waves all over the tart. Some should be sticking upright and some laying down to give different textures.
- 10
Dot the halved tomatoes around the tart and then drizzle or spray olive oil over the surface.
- 11
Do an egg or milk wash over the border and then bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown on the edges and underneath. Sprinkle the feta over after 15 minutes. You may need to put foil over the edges if they are browning too quickly.
- 12
Crack some black pepper over the top and then cut into 4 pieces. Serve warm!

Rich and Easy Chestnut Tart with Healthy Tart Crust Rich and Easy Chestnut Tart with Healthy Tart Crust
Because I received a lot of chestnuts as gift.If you are using candied chestnuts for the paste, you will not need to add any sugar. The milk could be substituted with soy milk or heavy cream, whichever you have on hand. Candied or fresh chestnuts that are simmered in sugar water can be substituted for the shibukawani (chestnuts simmered in their inner skins). Try not to use hard, uncooked fresh chestnuts!

Large Fresh Banana Tart Large Fresh Banana Tart
Once the weather turned cooler, I really started wanting to eat this sort of snack. I was just given a ton of bananas a little while ago, (although they were bananas from a funeral) and turned them into a banana tart. The sweetness of the baked bananas and the fragrant crust + fresh bananas and heavy cream make the perfect combination. It's funny how even using generic bananas and having them turn out like this turns it into a first-rate dish.Please refer to the notes for how to make the tart crust and almond cream. This also tastes great just baked and without decorating it with bananas and heavy cream. For 20 tart. Recipe by Yukiline -
