Topless tarts everywhere: the Monthly Mingle roundup

by Jeanne Horak on May 4, 2011 29 Comments in Monthly Mingle, Roundup

ToplessTartsRoundup © J Horak-Druiff 2011

It is a truth universally acknowledged that everybody loves a tart. It doesn’t matter if it is a sweet tart, or a hot and spicy tart – there is just something about them that’s irresistible – and even more so if we are talking topless tarts.  Can there be anybody on the planet that does not approve of them?

As you may know, my dad passed away in March.  Together with his will, he left a set of instructions regarding the funeral he wanted and where he wanted his ashes scattered.  He was very adamant that the only person to conduct the funeral service should be Father L., the same Catholic priest who conducted my mom’s funeral service seven years ago.  This may seem like an odd choice, considering that neither one of my parents was church-going, let alone Catholic.  But if you had heard the incredibly moving, cerebral and inspiring service that Father L. delivered for my mom, you would understand why my father was so adamant.

The funeral was duly held as my father had requested, with Father L. presiding, and once again the service was perfect for the occasion and for my father.  Father L.’s kind, gentle, wise and inspiring words were what we all needed to hear and I hope my father heard them wherever he was.  A couple of weeks after the funeral, I received an e-mail from Father L. who had been sent a link to CookSister so that he could see the beach where we scattered my father’s ashes.  But of course, on the day that a Catholic priest decides to visit my site, what is the leading article about?  TOPLESS TARTS!  Cringe.  So after he mailed me to say that he had been to the site, I mailed him back and apologised (only half in jest!) that he had to be greeted by topless tarts on his first visit to CookSister.  His reply?  “Oh, I prefer my tarts topless. Any other way, they’re just too… crusty.”.

So there you have it – topless tarts as approved by the clergy.  Apparently, a lot of other people also approved of topless tarts, judging by the enthusiastc response to this month’s Monthly Mingle theme.  Thanks to my sister-from-another-mother Meeta for allowing me to host her event – now please take your seats as we welcome on stage…. THE TOPLESS TART SHOW!

TOPLESS TART #1:

My friend Tandy Sinclair of Lavender and Lime was first out of the tarty starting blocks with her gorgous peach tarte tatin – I love this peachy take on the apple original!

LavenderLimeTarteTatin

TOPLESS TART #2:

From sweet, to savoury – Joumana of Taste of Beirut presented us with these oh-so-pretty Prosciutto crustless mini quiches – perfect for serving with lovely summer cocktails.

  TasteOfBeirut

TOPLESS TART #3:

Next, Candice of Gorgeous Gourmet comes up with a feast for the eyes as well as the tongue.  Her Mushroom, Caramelised Onion and Goat’s Cheese Tart is as pretty as a piece of abstract art, and I can almost smell those mushrooms through my screen!

CandiceMM

TOPLESS TART #4:

The lovely Solange of Pebble Soup got so swept up in the tart-tastic theme that she produced not one but THREE tarts!  Check them all out on her blog, but the one she chose for the Mingle was this unusual and delicious grape tart.

  PebbleSoup

TOPLESS TART #5:

Who said all topless tarts had to be women?  Stand up and be counted, my dear friend Andrew of Spittoon Extra!  He puts his outstanding baking and photography skills to work to present us with this indulgent Soured Cream Plum Tart – as elegant as a still-life painting.

Spittoon

TOPLESS TART #6:

These days it seems the foodie world is so busy with macarons that they forget the simple joys of macaroons – but not Arthi of Soul Curry – she wows us with a berry-strewn Chocolate macaroon tart that’s almost too pretty to eat!

SoulCurry

TOPLESS TART #7:

Another contender for Miss Topless Tart April 2011 is the lovely Jenn of Jenn Cuisine.  She manages to transform pink grapefruit into the most gorgeous and delightful grapefruit curd tartelettes – and they are even gluten-free!

Jenncuisine

TOPLESS TART #8:

After all the sweetness, it’s good to get back to something savoury.  I love artichokes but I have never thought of them as a tart filling – however the lovely Giuliana of Juls’ Kitchen is happy to educate me with her gorgeous topless artichoke tart.  Bella!

JulsKitchen

TOPLESS TART #9:

Spring is in the air… and Robin of What About the Food? works the theme with this lovely spring onion tart. In fact, inspired by the theme, Robin made two tarts – but you’ll have to visit the blog to see the other 🙂

WhatAboutFood

TOPLESS TART #10:

Hurrah – another South African entry! This one is from Cindy at The Only Cin and her little topless number is a colourful feast – she brings along a tri-colour topless tart with spinach, bacon, tomato and Camembert.  How can you resist?

  TheOnlyCin

TOPLESS TART #11:

Something a little more exotic now as we go and visit Mairi of Toast.  Hands up – do you know what kikorangi is? Bonus points if you know that it is a New Zeland blue cheese – and Mairi uses it to great effect in her greens and kikorangi topless tart!

Toast

TOPLESS TART #12:

Another fan of the fabulous tomato was Emma from Souperior.  I had to smile when I saw that she had made a roasted baby tomato and pesto tart with a Parmesan crust – when you see my own entry you will know that great minds think alike!

Souperior

TOPLESS TART #13:

Welcome now to a Mingle newbie – Lora of Diary of a Mad Hausfrau.  She introduces us to yet another fairly exotic ingredient with her spectacularly good looking Vanilla bean paste and sea buckthorn tart with a brown sugar crust.  I don’t know about you, but it was the brown sugar crust that stopped me in my tracks 🙂

  DiaryMadHausfrau

TOPLESS TART #14:

One of my oldest blog friends joins us for the Monthly Mingle this month, taking a break from her new bundle of joy!  Pille of Nami-Nami knows I don’t like beetroot much, so she apologised in advance for making a beetroot and feta tart – but when it’s this beautiful, how can I refuse??

 Naminami

TOPLESS TART #15:

Another nod to the popularity of tomatoes among the topless tart fraternity comes from my friend Sally of My Custard Pie.  Her post not only reveals the secrets of her Ottolenghi roasted vegetable tart with feta and ricotta but also includes some snaps from a photographic outing in Dubai 🙂

 My Custard Pie

TOPLESS TART #16:

What with the Royal Wedding last week, our thoughts have been turning to all things British.  Renatka of Fabulicious Food showcases all sorts of delicious british goodies with her British asparagus, smoked trout and dill tartlets – perfect for the sunny Spring weather we are having!

 Fabulicious Food

TOPLESS TARTS #17:

My lovely friend Ailbhe of Simply Splendiferous gives a nod to her Irish roots as she treats us to a delicious sounding potato and bacon tart. Love the cute visuals too!

SimplySplendiferous

TOPLESS TART #18:

And from savoury, we move to sweet as Richa of Ambrosia tempts us with her creamy, dreamy lemon tart.  Nothing like a lemon tart, I always say!

Ambrosia

TOPLESS TART #19:

Mmmmmm, mangoes!  Ruchi of Ruchi’s Simply Food also went for something sweet and wowed us with a mango coconut macaroon tart – I love the combination of two tropical flavours in one tart!.

RuchisSimplyFood

 

TOPLESS TART #20:

Probably one of the most beautiful tarts that I have ever seen comes from Sylvie of Gourmande in the Kitchen.  Her Raspberry and Lemon Tart simply took my breath away – and I’m sure it will do the same for you!

GournandeinTheK

 

TOPLESS TART #21:

Sweatha from TastyCurryLeaf is another one who decided to tempt us with lusciously ripe Summer tomatoes – her Mozzarella and tomato tartlets look perfect for a lazy summer lunch!

TastyCurryLeaf

 

TOPLESS TART #22:

It’s beginning to look a lot like a summer holiday around here as we welcome the lovely Soma of eCurry to the party – and look, she’s brought an exuberantly Mediterranean Grilled Vegetable and Hummus Tart.  Irresistable flavours & vibrant colours.

ECurry

TOPLESS TART #23:

One of my favourite party guests made it to the mingle with minutes to spare.  My darling blogMamma Colleen of Browniegirlblog pulled out all the stops and made a Pancetta, fig and blue cheese tart with chocolate caramlised onions.  It’s like main course and dessert all rolled into one!

Browniegirl

 

TOPLESS TART #24:

Now why does it not surprise me that my talented co-presenter at the forthcoming Plate to Page workshop, Jamie from Life’s a Feast, decided to make a sweet tart??  What this lady doesn’t know about baking is not worth knowing and her baked custard tart looks like a fitting end to any party!

Lifesafeast

TOPLESS TART #25:

To my mortification, I nearly forgot all about the original hostess with the mostest, my sister-from-another-mother Meeta of What’s for Lunch, Honey?  She has been so busy in April that she was not sure she would be able to make her own event, but her hard drive yielded up buried treasure from 2009 in the form of Flammkuchen (tarte flambée) two ways: with zucchini, tomato & feta; or with zucchini, fennel & goat cheese.  You choose!

WFLH

 

TOPLESS TART #26:

And as for me, your topless tarty hostess CookSister??  I made a toplessly tantalising tomato, pesto and thyme tarte tatin, for your viewing and tasting pleasure 🙂

Cooksister

  Thanks ever so much to all of you who joined in and mingled with us this month – it was a true pleasure working through all your delectable entries.  Thanks also to the one and only Meeta for letting me host her event – always a pleasure doing business with you 😉  Next month’s hostess with the mostest will be the lovely Juls of Juls’ Kitchen and I know you will be in good hands with her!  I’m pleased to announce that her theme will be fresh pasta – please check out her announcement post for all the details. Happy mingling!

More deliciousness for you!

    Jeanne, what a fabulous round up and as I passed from one Topless Tart to the next I found myself oohing and mmming and saying YES I want to make this, oh I want to make this! Everyone did a fabulously delicious job! Wouldn’t this have been a fantastic outdoor buffet or picnic if we had gotten together, each one of us bringing our tart? Thanks for hosting and coming up with the perfect theme.
    I now see why your dad loved Father L. Isn’t he great?

    Wonderful round up, I too had a horribly busy April and didn’t manage to submit anything to this or my own event. I finally managed to make my topless tart double bubble Nigella street party entry the other day but not photographed it yet!!

Do you enjoy free art installations? Then you need Do you enjoy free art installations? Then you need to get down to @canarywharflondon between now and Saturday 28 Jan to catch the free Winter Lights 2023 event, back for the seventh year.

My favourites include @lukejerramartist ‘s Floating Earth; Tom Lambert’s Out of the Dark; Fluorescent Firs; Toroid by This is Loop; and the surreal and mesmerising Anima by MEATS - a tunnel filled with hundreds of thin optical fibre lights that change colour and move in the breeze 😍 

Have you been to Winter Lights? What was your favourite?
“When we look down at the Earth from space, we s “When we look down at the Earth from space, we see this amazing, indescribably beautiful planet. It looks like a living, breathing organism. But it also, at the same time, looks extremely fragile.” - International Space Station astronaut Ron Garamond

To experience the “overview effect” (a phenomenon experienced by astronauts viewing the earth from space), head down to Canary Wharf in the London docklands this week where you can see @lukejerramartist ‘s beautiful Floating Earth installation as part of the Winter Lights event. 

This giant 10m diameter installation is created using high resolution NASA images to create a floating scale model of the Earth, lit from within so that it glows from its current home on the Middle Dock, surrounded by the headquarters of international banking and finance corporations.

The artist hopes that viewed in this context, the installation will make visitors and the bankers working in surrounding buildings question how their money in savings and pensions is invested, and whether investments can be greener.

Aside from being a thought provoking piece, it is also mesmerising and surreally beautiful, so make sure you visit the free Winter Lights event before ends on Saturday 28 Jan.
Happy lunar new year! [Invited] To celebrate the Happy lunar new year! 

[Invited] To celebrate the arrival of the Year of the Rabbit, why not head over to @mamachensdumplings currently doing a residence at the @thegantrylondon in #stratford where you can feast on prawn & chive dumplings; pork, Chinese cabbage and shiitake mushroom dumplings; pork & prawn wontons with Mama Chen’s chilli oil; vegetable dumplings; smacked cucumber salad; and spicy noodles coated in garlic and Szechuan pepper oil.

And afterwards, make sure you head up to the @unionsocialoc bar for a cocktail - I loved the Moreish Fashion with bourbon, PX sherry, chestnuts and mandarin orange bitters!

CELEBRATE. So the fireworks are over, the champag CELEBRATE.

So the fireworks are over, the champagne is finished and the leftovers are all eaten. We are one week into 2023 and I have had some time to think about what my intent is for the year. 

In 2022 my brother had a life saving kidney transplant. Since the operation, he has had a Peanuts cartoon as his WhatsApp profile pic, where Charlie Brown and Snoopy are sitting on a pier talking. Charlie says “Some day, we all die Snoopy.” And Snoopy replies: “Yes - but every other day, we will live.”

Waking up in the morning is a gift, every day, and it is so easy to forget this. The last few years have been difficult for so many people and the coming year promises its own challenges. But every day that we don’t die is a day to live, to celebrate life in some small way.

So my intention in 2023 is to celebrate. Celebrate our achievements however small. Celebrate our friends and family. Celebrate small things. Celebrate life.

Did you make any resolutions or goals for 2023? I would love to hear them in the comments! Wishing you all the very best for 2023 🥂

We also tried the chicken and soya biryanis, both with incredibly fluffy and delicately spiced rice. You can get their biryanis as a 1kg takeaway, served in a beautiful branded clay pot that serves 3-4 people, for about £30. Bargain! We also took home a sample of their desserts, including a fragrant and delicious kheer rice pudding. If you are in the Marble Arch area, get yourself to BKC!  #invited #bkcrestaurants
