Tart mould for all your fancy
Tart is a classic in pastry and baking. Made from dough (puff, shortcrust, shortbread), the tart is made with a sweet or savoury filling. As the support of your tart, dough should be perfect.
Tart is an eclectic dish. After having spread the dough on the tart mould, you can garnish it with fruits, vegetables, meats, cheeses... Pies and tarts recipes are endless. You can adapt them to the season and to your fancy. You can serve it as an appetizer, main dish or dessert. Tartlets will be perfect for a Dinner Aperitif.
MeilleurduChef.com presents an original and stunning tart, the Tarte Tatin. Tarte Tatin is an apple pie. Apples are caramelized with sugar and butter. Pie can be enjoyed warm with a spoonful of fresh or whipped cream.
Tarte Tatin was born in 1898 thanks to the Tatin sisters, Caroline and Stéphanie, apple pie specialists. One day, in the heat of the moment, Stéphanie placed her pie upside down in the oven. The pie was still served and the compliments were heard.
Another story goes that the apples were put in the oven at full speed without dough. Recognizing their mistake, the Tatin sisters decided to place the dough on top of the apples, then to return their dessert. MeilleurduChef.com carries a Tarte Tatin mould to make this delicious pastry.

Quiche mould and quiche story
Quiche is a savoury pie that has been around for centuries. In 1605, the word "Quiche" was discovered for the first time in the accounts of the Saint-Julien hospital in Nancy. The name "Quiche" is derived from the Lorraine name "Küche". Nowdays all kinds of recipes containing the cream-based batter and garnished with various ingredients Quiche, but the original quiche is indeed the Quiche Lorraine.
At the time, it wasn't made from shortcrust pastry, but from leavened dough, like bread dough. Ingredients that were available in the village, eggs, cream and bacon we added. Much later the shortcrust pastry became the basis of the Quiche.
Quiche Lorraine has kept its original recipe, shortcrust pastry filled with smoked bacon and a batter called "migaine", baked in a Quiche mould. The "migaine" batter consists of eggs, sour cream, pepper and sometimes nutmeg. By adding cheese, we will have a Vosges Quiche, by adding fried onions, we will obtain an Alsatian Quiche.
Enjoy your quiche with a good glass of white wine.

Pasteis de nata moulds and history of Pasteis de nata
Pasteis de nata are small cakes, a kind of custard, of Portuguese origin. Pastel de nata, in the singular, Pasteis de nata in the plural, is made from puff pastry and cream, baked in a flared mould.
Pasteis de nata are also called "Pasteis de Belém". In 19th century, Belém and Lisbon were two different areas linked by steamboat. In Belém was a monastery where the nuns made small custards, called Pasteis de Belém in a Pasteis de nata mould. These pastries were then sold by monks in a shop near the monastery. At the time, the monastery attracted many tourists who loved to taste these Portuguese wonders.
Today, only a pastry shop located in Lisbon, Fabrica dos pastéis de Belém sells the famous Pastéis de Belém. Its recipe has been well kept for years and the master pastry chefs have taken an oath of silence around the recipe. Belém pastéis are still hand-crafted and customers sometimes wait several hours to eat them.
Pastéis de nata would be considered a copy of Pastéis de Belém, although many pastry chefs believe they have found the secret recipe. Either way, Pastel de nata is a very appreciated cake taking you the streets of Lisbon from the first bite.
