Years ago, when I worked at Zefiro Restaurant in Portland, I often jotted down recipes on the back of guest checks to try at home. This one is from Michelle Dennis, one of the most talented pastry chefs I’ve known.

Orange and cranberries what a perfect combination. Think this would work with half raspberries?

The tart looks good and plan to try. But a grammatical point: pate (pronounced like pot in English) in pate sucree has no accent over the “e”. That would make it something like finely ground liver to spread on toast.

jlabajian: You’re right, the “e” in pâte doesn’t need the accent aigu; that was a typo we’ve fixed. But of course, the words pâte (for pastry crust), pâté (for a soft spread), and pâtes (for pasta) are all related — they all basically mean “mushy paste.”
