I’m back with one of my favourite Magazine Mondays post in a long time.
This recipe hasn’t been bookmarked for very long. I was sitting on the subway a few weeks ago, on the ride home, trying not to nod off. I pulled out the April 2009 issue of Bon Appétit and on page 23, saw a recipe for Strawberry-Rhubarb Tarts with Crème Fraîche Sorbet. I immediately knew I had to try the recipe for two reasons: 1) I still had a package of frozen strawberries and rhubarb from last summer in the freezer and 2) I was recently looking through David Lebovitz’s Perfect Scoop: Ice Creams, Sorbets, Granitas, and Sweet Accompaniments
and had my eye on a recipe for Crème Fraîche Ice Cream. That same night I was happily rolling out tart crusts and making the custard base for the ice cream.
I have a thing for strawberry and rhubarb. I’m always looking for the perfect strawberry-rhubarb tart recipe and I think I may have found it. These were delicious and the tangy ice cream was the perfect complement.
A bit of bad news though … I can’t seem to find the recipe for the tarts on-line! It’s on p. 23 of the magazine but it’s not on-line yet. And even worse … I don’t know what I did with the magazine!!! I’ll keep looking for the recipe on-line and link to it if it shows up.
While this wasn’t by any means one of the oldest magazine recipes lingering in my pile, I’m sure glad I tried it! Fingers crossed that I can find that recipe.
Here are all the people that joined me in making a dent in their magazine piles:
Wandering Coyote of ReTorte made Ricotta Cookies.
Tamy of 3sidesofcrazy made Glazed Green Beans.
Emiglia of Tomato Kumato made Spring Peas, Two Ways.
Mandi of Red Dirty Mummy made Currant and Hazelnut Baked Apples.
Elizabeth of The Waspy Redhead came in with two posts this week: Lemon Ginger Mini Cheesecakes and a Spinach and Leek Rolled Omelet.
Simone of Junglefrog Cooking made Ricotta and White Bean Salad.
Saliha of Hayat Binbircesni made Crackle Cookies!
Debbie of Taste of Sweetness made some incredible Gnocchi with Wild Mushroom and Sage Ragu.
Janie of Panini Girl made an Italian Chicken Salad.
Georgia of Oh Kitchen, What Won’t You Do? made a Chipotle Chicken Sandwich.
Joy from The Cooking of Joy made Coconut Lime Cakelets.
Nurit of 1 family. friendly. food. made Peas and Tarragon Soup. Gorgeous!
Have a great week, everyone!
Ciao!

Those look amazing but my husband has banned me from making desserts for two months (he found that some of his summer trousers are too snug and somehow that’s my fault). Oh well, little does he know that I’m clipping and bookmarking until my 2 months are up!!
04/20/09 at 5:18 am
I remember seeing that recipe in Bon Appétit - looove your tarts!!
04/20/09 at 6:53 am
I’ve never eaten rhubarb, but these look amazing!
04/20/09 at 7:08 am
Oh yummy! Strawberry and Rhubarb - a much requested combo around here. I can’t wait to try them.
04/20/09 at 8:11 am
Strawberry and rhubarb, a big favorite of mine. Think the rhubarb love started with my grandmother’s pies
Now I’ve got to hope I got that issue.
04/20/09 at 8:50 am
Wow - creme fraiche ice cream! That sounds really amazing! I love strawberry & rhubarb, too, but mostly I just love rhubarb!
04/20/09 at 10:53 am
I too have a weakness for the strawberry-rhubarb combo. Deadly. These look divine and the ice cream is the best addition ever! Yum! PLEASE keep checking for the link and let us know!!!!!!!!
yum!
04/20/09 at 12:08 pm
Hi, loved the photos and the recipe… i’m also a big fan of those two ingredients, so i’m beggin you to find out the recipe, so that I can try it too!
Here in Portugal, it’s not usual to see ‘Bon Appetit’ Magazine, so i really must see how you made it!
04/20/09 at 12:52 pm
Hey there!
I just wanted to say hello again! That is awesome that you are from Canada! My Mom is from Calgary, Alberta. I am dying to visit there again soon. I think your blog is amazing! I love the design and appreciate the recipes. I was wondering if you could please add my to your link list. I have added you to mine. Thank you so much! Come check out my blog as I aspire to be as inventive as you.

These just look too good almost! I know how it feels to not be able to find the magazine you cooked from. I constantly have that issue!! There are just too many magazines floating around and I really have to find a system for them!
04/20/09 at 1:31 pm
Oh yeah, that April’s issue looked perticularly beautiful. I really loved some of the food styling in that specicif issue. The tarts look terrific. I have only tried a strawberry-rhubarb combination once and didn’t fall for it. Maybe I should try it again?
04/20/09 at 1:32 pm
These look wonderful! I love strawberry and rhubarb!
04/20/09 at 2:06 pm
They look gorgeous! So wonderful, I can almost taste them.
Sometimes I can find Gourmet or Bon Appetit recipes on Epicurious before they make it on their own site - give it a try.
04/20/09 at 4:00 pm
And it’s rhubarb season! Love the tarts. Mad that I forgot it was Monday (the perils of working at home)! Now … I will need a a pan for mini tarts … Mother’s Day?
04/20/09 at 8:24 pm
OH yea, rhubarb is here and of course you ring in the season with these fantastic looking tarts! Yea for rhubarb and yea you got your baking mojo back!!
04/20/09 at 11:57 pm
A wonderful combo! These tartlets look delightful!
Cheers,
Rosa

What is a beautiful combination -strawberry and rhubarb! I like it too. Honestly, I have never used rhubarb in cooking. Probably, Ii is my mistake…
04/21/09 at 8:46 am
I have been looking for good rhubarb ideas (it grows like wildfire around here) and this fits just what I’m looking for… oh yum!
04/21/09 at 9:40 am
Wow, you really went all out this week eh! I love strawberry and rubarb together and can hardly contain myself waiting for this season’s rubarb to hit the shelves!
04/21/09 at 2:07 pm
Drooling…..
Yummy…. I have got to try this one. Even though I’ve never had rubarb before if you say they go good together than they must and I will try it.
04/22/09 at 11:08 am
They look so delicious! Have some rhubarb in the freezer…will use it soon…
04/22/09 at 5:36 pm
Delicious looking tarts! I just love tarts.
04/22/09 at 10:39 pm
OH MY. Those look phenomenal! I want one for breakfast, with thick vanilla yogurt.
And I want to play! I have so many magazines, I was about to implement magazine week or some such on my blog. I’m off to Tofino for a week, but when I’m back I’m totally putting MM into action!
04/23/09 at 1:48 am
What an amazing looking pie! I have been craving strawberries and rhubarb, so please find that recipe for us! Beautiful!
04/23/09 at 4:09 am
Strawberry and rhubarb , my most favourite! Yummy!
04/29/09 at 8:23 am
The tarts look great, but I’m distracted by the creme fraiche ice cream! About 6 months ago my husband and I ate at a fantastic french restaurant near our house, and the dessert topped with creme fraiche ice cream was the best part of the whole meal. I love the tart flavor of it paired with a fruit tart. Looks fantastic!
