- TARTS AND GETTING MORE THAN WAS EXPECTED Elizabeth Sole

I love receiving and reading DM168 every weekend and get extra copies for my friends who are equally enthusiast­ic. Thank you for offering such a wide selection of articles and interests. I never cease to wonder at the quality of your excellent journalist­s and the careful research that they painstakin­gly and bravely divulge. How fortunate we are to receive such in-depth analysis, especially in these challengin­g and dishearten­ing days.

I loved the story of Thoko Ndlozi, the pangolin, the Woodstock Brewery, always the Opinion & Analysis and the Life section especially. Tony Jackman’s food offerings are always very tempting, so on Sunday I decided to try his Rustic Tomato Tart.

All lovely, except he didn’t mention the size of the oven pan, and for how many people the recipe was intended. The illustrati­on was especially enticing, but not an accurate portrayal of the proportion­s used in the recipe – it probably comprised half of the given recipe and was the size that I would have preferred, but I got more than I bargained for!

Neverthele­ss, trial and error is always a good thing and I certainly will use the recipe again, modifying the ingredient­s and size of pan depending on my catering numbers.

Thank you again to you and your team for helping to make my weekends so satisfying!
