this was a lovely tasty tart. i did need to add some extra ground almonds and to cook it for 35 minutes before it was set, and i think i would add some extra lemon juice or use larger lemons next time, for a bit more lemon flavor. this sliced nicely and i served it with a scoop of ice cream. wonderful with tea the next day too.

Hello, thought I should update this page a wee bit now we have a new furbaby called Bismila as well as our beloved Maddie who is the star of the photo. I live with my husband Keir in the North East of Scotland between Inverness and Aberdeen, it is very beautiful here. My DH is a keen salmon fisherman and is in the right place to do this! I ran my own pubs and restaurants for many years until arthritis made catering just too much for me, I am 'semi' retired now and can't seem to drag myself away from this site. I have met some wonderful people here and made good friends for which I am eternally grateful.
