Home Baking: The Artful Mix of Flour and Traditions from Around the World

I was very impressed with the ease of bringing this together.
I will preface this with the fact that I am not a baker.

The pastry came together really easily in the food processor, I divided it into the rounded discs and refrigerated in seperate baggies overnight.

Cooked off the leeks this morning, rolled out the pastry, assembled and baked for a really lovely lunch.

The technique they used of pouring the custard through the vent hole on top was a bit of a letdown, as one would think the "custard" settled happily in the center. Next time I will make several decorative vent holes and then add the custard.

Only change I made was I used pancetta instead of bacon, reason, I had pancetta on hand but no bacon.

This is really an outstanding pie.

This can be served hot or room temp. Great for entertaining.

A really nice tart although the oil packed black olives were a bit intense for me. Another AJ-soupereasy project.
The pastry was really nice and quite easy to work with. This is the second pastry recipe that I have made from this book and I highly recommend it. I am not a baker but they make it very usable.
