I haven't been cooking many things lately that are out of the ordinary and worthy of posting on this blog, but I did recently make Thomas Keller's soup cracker recipe from the Ad Hoc cookbook, and also some simple apple tarts.
The crackers are incredibly easy to make and I'd highly recommend giving it a try. In an odd way, they reminded me a lot of shortbread for their buttery flavour that you don't get in a store-bought soup cracker, but that butter flavour complements soup perfectly.
I had some frozen tart shells in the freezer, so to make 8 apple tarts all I had to do was peel two royal gala apples, slice them in thin half moons, saute them until just tender in a frying pan with butter or margarine, mix them up with a bit of cinnamon, sugar, and nutmeg, lay the apple pieces in the tarts, and then bake the tarts for about 10 minutes. It's a really nice and simple dessert if you're looking for a quick apple pie fix.
