tarts

Recipe from Ruth Reichl's new cookbook, My Kitchen Year: 136 recipes that saved my life.

Quick, easy and super delicious, puff pastry appetizers are the best way to start a party — whether its a family barbecue or a Friday night with friends. Use this recipe as a guide and add your own creative spin based on whatever's in season.

These are wonderful with a cup of tea or as a little after-dinner sweet. Use any berries or soft fruit.

From a decadent chocolate tart, to miniature berry-jam tartlets and a sweet crust filled with raspberries and cream — these desserts will have guests awaiting the final course with barely concealed excitement!

It will be love at first bite when you taste the rich chocolate ganache, gooey caramel, buttery crust and delicate sprinkling of pink salt that make up this sinfully good dessert.
