Quiches and Pastries: Le Cordon Bleu : Home Collection
Basic Shortcrust Pastry : page 58
What a disaster! The pastry was hard as if it were pasta dough; it was less than suggested (not a double recipe but just a single one), and when it was finally baking, the pastry actually shrunk, leaving behind gaping holes and hardly any border at all. I haven't tasted it yet so I can't say anything about its taste, but I'm not going to make this recipe again anyway, so what's the point?
We were supposed to use the pastry for this Seafood Quiche - luckily we still had a small frozen pastry, and we ate the rest as an omelette...

Seafood Quiche / Meeresfrüchte-Quiche : page 54
Very nice quiche, once you have a decent pastry... I liked the fact that you can use canned crabmeat. Of course fresh is always better, but canned can sometimes just be soo practical. We used fresh shrimps, but we might substitute them for either frozen ones or some other canned ingredient.

Hmm. Eaten cold, it was okay but slightly boring, eaten warm it was like a pizza with a not-so-good base. Not really recommended, then.
