Delectable as the payoff may be, tart-making, by nature, is not an art suited to the impatient. Parading the tart from counter to refrigerator to oven and back again ad nauseam can test the commitment of even a seasoned cook -- and that's before the filling's even been tackled.
But there is something to be said for the immense satisfaction one garners from a completed tart. When properly executed (and, you should be forewarned, there is an alarming amount of room for error), the end product is elevated to an artistic form, promising taste, texture and photogenic glory.
We flipped through the recipes of ''Tarts: Sweet and Savory'' to find totally drool-worthy photos -- and were happy to find they held up taste-wise too.
See what we tested and find out whether the book's worth buying after the jump.
