Lime Tart

"Lovely and tart. The slices of lime on top give it a lovely, rustic look. The dough has to 'rest' in the refrigerator for one hour before being rolled out."

  1. I served this at a lunch for our clients and I must admit got a mixed reaction. I am not a sweet eater but I liked it because it wasn't too sweet. I must admit I liked the crust, maybe it was the small amount of cinnamon. It is an easy recipe to make. I served it with whipped cream. Well done Eve.

I moved out here many, many years ago from Ottawa, Canada - so I am blessed in having two wonderful heritages! I suffer from compulsive obsessive behaviour with regard to food and my psychiatrist thought it would be a good idea to find a 'society' where many have the same problem and try to find a cure. So far, I've copied a couple of thousand recipes from this site and my psychiatrist has thrown the towel in and refuses to answer the phone when I call. What did I do wrong? Got 3 kids that keep me on the go - 10 and under at this point (2008) - I may not get round to updating this for a few years, so you'll have to do your own maths. I teach English full-time and Greek Cookery part-time. I would like to make the cooking part of it full-time and the English Grammar part of it part-time. That's all for now.
