After a short hiatus from baking and blogging, I have finally found the inspiration to pick up the wooden spoon once again and get back into the groove. It was only fitting that this luscious Strawberry Brulee tart from Bourke St. Bakery in Surry Hills would be just the thing to shake off all that blah that I found myself in. Not to mention the trip we took to the Hunter Valley for a wedding- who doesn't love a good excuse to go away to the country?
Besides going away on our short-lived road trip, I've been keeping myself busy working on other projects, but now that I've given myself sufficient respite from the kitchen I am ready and raring to get in there and get my oven mitts back on. Absence does make the heart grow fonder, or should I say the stomach?
And it's great to see that you all didn't stay away from the blog while I was gone...
Pictures from our weekend in the Hunter Valley coming soon.
Isn't it just the most wonderful tart? I waxed lyrical about it a few weeks ago - I want to try the others but find it hard to go past this one every time...
ReplyDeleteCustard tarts are a longstanding favourite of mine so I just know I'll love this. Looks gorgeous!

Glad to see you back! The tart looks delicious.
ReplyDeleteI know just what you mean. Sometimes we create create create and then our brain just kicks up and says,"I need a break now" and what can we do but put the kettle on and take a little tea break from the world. Welcome back!

ReplyDeleteWell I am glad you are back because I've only recently discovered your blog and am completely hooked on it already. Although I definitely understand the need for a break--I took a 4 month long one! but it was just what I need to reenergize. Oh, and the tart looks beautiful ;)
ReplyDeleteWelcome back Jen! I've missed your stories and photos!
ReplyDeleteGorgoeus! Simply just that...I it tasted incredible too!
ReplyDeleteHow good does that tart look! I've only just discovered Bourke St bakery myself (the Mascot and Broadway branches), but have managed to resist anything other than sandwches and coffee so far. But when (not if) I cave, it may well be for this tart!!
