Big fat tarts

I've long been a fan of the Hairy Bikers and love watching them on TV.  This weekend I used their recipes for the very first time and both were a huge success and therefore worth a mention.

I baked their lemon tart and also their broad bean, pea and mint tart.  Both recipes came from the Hairy Bikers' Perfect Pies recipe book.  Mind you, I did use frozen pastry because as much as I love baking, I reckon life's too short to make your own pastry.

Both recipes were easy to follow and worked out like a dream. Well recommended. There would have been pictures of both taken and blogged, but, well, both were eaten pretty quickly if truth be told.

Perfect Pies indeed.

    I can't be the only one who skim-read that title as "big farts."

    Mind you, it is about the Hairy Bikers, so, you know...

    I used to be like you: buy pastry. Now I make my own.

    It all began when I made a pork pie and need to make a hot water pastry casing. Messy but it was hugely satisfying.
