Food Tip |
"When treasures are recipes they are less clearly, less distinctly remembered than when they are tangible objects. They evoke however quite as vivid a feeling-that is, to some of use who, considering cooking an art, feel that a way of cooking can produce something that approaches an aesthetic emotion. What more can one say? If one had the choice of again hearing Pachmann play the two Chopin sonatas or dining once more at the Cafe Anglais, which would one choose?" |

Always eat grapes downward - that is eat the best grapes first; in this way there will be none better left on the bunch, and each grape will seem good down to the last. If you eat the other way, you will not have a good grape in the lot. |

Put the flour, sugar, and salt in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse
once. Cut the butter into pieces and add to the dry ingredients.
Pulse again until the mixture resembles coarsely ground cornmeal.
(You may also cut the butter into the flour mixture with two knives
or a pastry cutter.) Add the ice water through the feeder tube with
the motor running and briefly process until a ball is formed. Wrap
the dough in wax paper and refrigerate for 1/2 hour. Faith makes ice
water by adding a few cubes to a glass of water before sh starts
making the dough. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface and
line a 10" fluted tarte pan -97 the kind with the bottom that comes
out. Prick the bottom of the dough-lined pan with a fork. Combine 2
tbsps. of flour with 2 tbsps. of sugar and dust the bottom. Add the
lemon juice to the fruit and spread evenly over the dough. Sprinkle 2
tbsps. of sugar on the top and place on baking sheet. Bake in the
middle of a preheated 375F oven for 40 minutes, or until the edges
turn slightly brown. Let coo for ten minutes and remove from the pan
to a serving plate Tastes best warm or at room temperature Serves 10.
This recipe is also delicious with other summer fruits. Caution: do
not use frozen blueberries or you will have a soggy mess. Pix knows.
