Tart Soleil

My friend sent me this beautiful link to Feta Tapenade Tarte Soleil.
Funny part is that I baked and baked the tart for a golden colour that it could never achieve cause yours unbaked forgot to put the egg wash. There will be a smart oven some day which will beep that you skipped a step in a recipe.
The stuffing here is what we use in kajjikayalu. I have fond memories of watching my parents make them. Crunchy and sweet.
This one is a slight twist on that as its flaky here.
My husband couldnt find the pepperidge farm puff pastry in quiet  a few places. Finally when he found it, he bought four which gave me a nudge to make something new like Rose aux pommes
While it is a way of making something beautiful, its a nod to try something new from international cuisines.

I recently read in The Superhuman Mind: Free the Genius in your Brain that you should imagine a waterfall of milk in the kitchen to remember grocery list of milk and so on and while going through a gorgeous French Dessert book, The Art of French Pastry couple with my week old fascination of memorizing poetry that started with Beyond the River,
 I am wondering if I should try memorising recipes. For one I wont forget the egg wash part and wait calamitously long for something thats not going to happen without the right ingredients. And number two from the creative way of remembering grocery list, I was wondering if we imagine what wont happen if we skip a step, then there is atleast in the memory to pull that if I want the dark golden colour, then I should do that step.

  Healthy protein cabbage After the onion gravy success, I was excited to find out who is next in the boxring. A cabbage. I have  afound a way to make my family love it - a lentil eg urad or moong (fried initially, adds crunch - learned from a friend's sister visiting then) in copious amounts and mandolin sliced cabbage I wanted to see if there was a different way to make it. I saw this split chickpea addition to it and wondered why I didnt think of it before. I know of a recipe with soaked split chickpea and onion curry (diced onions, but now I am thinking another recipe would be to give the special treatment to onions with a blend and then fried well - elevates any main ingredient even simple one like soaked split chickpea. oh no, now reimaging all the great food could have been if done well - thinking chole curry -- its like once you know a mistake and have tons and tons of papers, to go back and correct). In some months, when for religious reasons, people dont eat onion, t...
