What a brilliant combination! And it is lovely to look at too. It is particularly appealing as it uses lemons (and I have tons of these from mamma’s garden) and ricotta as well as pine nuts. I wouldn’t call it a French recipe though, it is more of a European recipe. I found this recipe for a tart with pine nuts in Manger, Mimi Thorisson’s blog about life in Medoc, France. So I happily bought quite a large bag (I adore them in so many recipes) and went home to search for a new recipe to use them in. I have been looking for Australian pine nuts in shops for a few years, or failing that, organic imported ones.

I love being able to occasionally walk down the street with a shopping basket and buy ingredients just for that day – it feels a little bit like living in a village in Italy. I am surrounded by great delicatessens, fresh produce markets and smaller gourmet supermarkets and it makes it so much easier when I need to buy specialised or imported ingredients to cook with.
