Tarts and pies - Academia Barilla

The sweet tart is perhaps the oldest dessert in the Italian culinary tradition and its origins are lost in myth and date back to the early centuries of the Christian era. The first definite evidence of a tart recipe is found, however, in the Libro de Arte Coquinaria by Martino da Como in 1465. As simple as it is tasty, the tart is characterized by its pastry base and a filling that can have infinite variations. From typical fruit jams of every taste to fresh fruit with custard to chocolate. This book, conceived with Mario Grazia, chef and gastronomic manager at the Academia Barilla, for the 50 Easy Recipes series, and characterized by its original format that reproduces the shape of the dessert, offers 50 original or traditional ways to help you make your tart, providing valuable suggestions for the preparation of the ideal dough, to achieve perfect browning and crispiness of the crust and to serve a delicious sweet that is perfect for any occasion.
