"A big disappointment. As the feta doesn't melt, it hardens, the ingredients didn't stick to the tart base, and so they fell off when the tart was was cut. I had even spread a thin layer of sundried tom paste to get them to stick, but obviously not enough. I was also disappointed by the taste, too sugary and the feta doesn't take that away unless you use loads. I will use a strong goats cheese next time - it will break up the sugary taste, it will also melt to "stick" the ingredients to the base. I don't think I'll bother with the sugar either, all you need is the balsamic vinegar to caramalise the onions. Not one of my favourites, I prefer my own creations to this one."

"As a veggie we eat a lot of savoury tarts in summer, so to avoid serving up another tart for dessert (cutting down on all that pastry), I will be making this using a cheesecake (crushed biscuit and butter) base. Today I am going to make just the lemon mixture and serve it with a layer of fresh rapsberries on top and a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Living in France, have tasted this recipe many times. I love it but it is very strong, lemony and not extremely sweet, it may not be for everyone."
