Lemon Tart
Vancouver, Canada
Interests: French goat cheeses, Madagascar chocolate, heirloom tomatoes, first flush Darjeeling tea, full fat artisal yogurt, Provencal Rose wine, and so many things in between. When I'm not cooking or thinking about food (which is rare) I love a great Woody Allen movie, travelling to beautiful places, learning or perfecting languages and sifting through antique markets for the perfect Pyrex mixing bowl.

Great idea! Sometimes if Im doing this with a high pectin fruit and cook it a bit too long it will indeed gel on itself becoming essentially jelly.

Arugula Radish Salad with Meyer Lemon and Parmesan
If ever I were to write my a cookbook it would be about salads. This may come as a surprise to some of you. After all, the sweet realm is really the place of my heart and soul and certainly my specialty. But putting together interesting salads is something that seems natural to me, which I'...
