Lemon Meringue Tartlettewith Red Currants
Pastry chef Pierre Reboul's
heavenly temptation
Viennese Mélangewith Lemon Meringue Tartlette
Viennese Mélangeas served at Café Central
on a silvery tray with a
spoon-topped glass of water
and red-foil-wrapped chocolate nougat
Somebody could not waitany longer and dug in,
with a cake fork, that is!

I dedicate this blog post
to Stephanie Levy,
who recently visited Vienna
and discovered Pierre Reboul's
fabulous lemon tartlette, tempting me with these words:
"This little lemon tart was one of the most beautiful things I have ever eaten. Sweet, citrusy, creamy filling with a crunchy base. My taste buds were in heaven. I honestly felt emotional about this tart - it was that good. Viennese pastry chefs are true artisans."
Who am I to resist? ;-)
