Tarts Anon: Sweet and Savoury Tart Brilliance

Imaginative and not-so-basic sweet and savory tarts for serious bakers, and professionals. Gareth Whitton was the head pastry chef at Dinner By Heston Blumenthal before launching Tarts Anon as an online side hustle during Covid lockdowns. It soon snowballed into a hit retail store in Melbourne, Australia. His basic pastry recipe is “a showcase of technique and does take practice (and patience) to master,” and involves using less butter than traditional pâte brisée. It’s also suitable for both sweet and savory tarts, including: Cherry and almond tart Carrot cake tart Smoked pecan and butterscotch tart Blackberry and orange cheesecake tart Passionfruit, rhubarb, and strawberry pavlova tart Corn and jalapeno tart Sweet potato, spinach, and goat cheese tart Definitely a way to expand your tart repertoire. Hardcover. Color photographs throughout.
