Cook the Book: Peach Tart with Almond Topping and a Cookie Crust
I couldn't agree more with Anna Pump, author of this week's Cook the Book selection, Summer on a Plate, who believes that "sweets are an essential part of the day...if you serve a fabulous, knockout dessert, chances are your guests may not remember what they had for dinner. Desserts always bring smiles to the table, and no matter how full people claim they are, there always seems to be just a little bit of special space left over."
Today’s recipe is for a classic fresh peach tart. A simple, butter cookie crust is par-baked and then spread with apricot preserves; filled with juicy, sliced peaches; and scattered with crunchy almonds. Anna suggests serving the tart with ice cream or whipped cream. I think it would also be divine with strawberry sorbet.
