Pistachio Cream Tart

A buttery shortcrust pastry case filled with pistachio pastry cream and topped with whipped cream, crushed pistachios and a drizzle of pistachio cream. The pastry cream is the main event — dense, sweet and deeply nutty. Bake the shell ahead, fill when cool.

Mushroom Risotto

Arborio rice toasted dry in butter, then built up ladle by ladle with hot stock and mushrooms, finished off heat with cold butter and parmesan. No cream. The creaminess comes entirely from the starch in the rice — that is the whole point of the technique. It takes about 18 minutes of actual cooking once the rice goes in, and you cannot really walk away from it.
