In my last post I mentioned that I would share the recipes that I created for the budget lunch exam. This was my starter which I served with raita. Using Asda special ingredients it came to a grand total of £1.30 for four tartlets (roughly $2).
The examiner said that she thought the tart had good flavours and it was definitely one to keep making. Everyone who tasted this dish while I was practicing it enjoyed it too; thanks to all my guinea pigs out there - especially Deb for all her critical feedback.
In other news, I got my theory exam results and got 90.5%! I'm off to make some puff pastry in celebration.
