APPLE TART
In Paris, across the Seine, is Chef Alain Passard's L’Arpège
restaurant w/ three Michelin stars and their famous Apple Tart. Delectable flaky puff pasty topped w/ exquisitely-crafted apple
rosettes, and an artistic swirl of rich buttery caramel sauce
garnishing the plate.
Hi, Liz, after viewing your lovely pic, trotted on over to Google to check out the tart and the chef/restaurant. As for the apples...a variation of the ‘roses’ seen and when reading found they were created on a ‘machine’ which slices thin the apple in one continuous strip. Sounds like the old kitchen ‘thingie’ my GM used for baking apple pie...that would be just plain old fashioned apple pie ;)
Believe it will be sticking to rose radishes here for a few more years. The tart does sound great with the pastry, caramel, custard, walnuts and apples.
Thanks for sharing.
Watching French chefs in seconds deftly turn mushrooms and strawberries into elegant garnishes....I can hardly believe a masterful French chef used a machine to make the exquisite apple rosettes.
I once saw a Japanese chef slice an apple into a perfect rosette -— used as a garnish. Japanese knife skills are peerless.
No offense intended either to you or to the chef, just asking. Have seen the Japanese and their expertise with knives, to realize they are masters. However, many (including me) seem to be more of the Dan Aykroyd/Julia types when using knives.
As for my knifes skills, I do not even measure up to yours....LOL.
Beautiful work, Liz. Time to get the chain-saw and start to work on those ice sculptures. Hatchet buried? LOL -I’m sticking to butter curls....
Butter curls? How’d you do that? Takes major talent. LOL.
That is cute and would make pretty pickles for sure. I wonder if you can get seeds. Leaving now for google........
found some seeds on ebay from Indiana.
It was learned today that our old Cooking Buddy, Alton Brown, will be getting a new show on Food TV
He has been missed greatly
Also, learned was this mature citizen will suddenly begin to have an affection to Guava Tea...once I find out exactly what that is. LOL. Read it is as good as Xanax without the prescription. Happy days are here again!!

Seem to remember when you first re-started this thread you were seeking recipes for Zucchini. This might be one I’d be willing to try (being from Texas and liking all things fried LOL)
