Tarts Anon: Sweet and Savoury Tart Brilliance by Gareth Whitton & Catherine Way

Tarts Anon does one thing exceptionally well - tarts - and in this cookbook the team behind the legend reveal the secrets to making the perfect one for every occasion. Tarts Anon: Sweet and savory tart brilliance is your guide to baking a stunning tart, every time.

Featuring 50 different recipes: from beloved classics such as Plain Old Lemon and Vanilla Custard to more out-of-the-box offerings like Black Forest Tart; savory crowd-pleasers like Mushroom and Parmesan, and truly celebratory tarts like the Saint Honoré, this book contains all the knowledge and inspiration you need to become a tart master. Also included are an in-depth shortcrust pastry recipe and helpful breakouts that guide you through fixing pastry pitfalls with dulce de leche, pouring praise-inducing glazes and perfectly portioning your finished tarts. Simple, elegant and versatile, tarts are both the perfect end to a meal and a meal in their own right - with this book at your fingertips, a world of show stopping circular bakes awaits.

Gareth Whitton was the head pastry chef at Dinner By Heston Blumenthal before launching Tarts Anon as an online side hustle during Covid lockdowns. It soon snowballed into a hit retail store in inner-city Melbourne, Australia and an appearance on MasterChef Australia. Gareth does the baking, while his partner Cat - a speech pathologist with a knack for dessert logistics - oversees everything else.
