"becks n posh" news and stories

If only there was slightly more time during the average morning to bake elegant breakfasts, we might all switch from whatever we currently scarf down - cereal, toast, eggs, donuts, etc. - before heading out the door to breakfast tarts. Sam of Becks and Posh created this truly stunning breakfast tart, an artful arrangement of bacon, mushrooms, tomatoes and an egg on a crust of pre-baked puff pastry. The puff pastry is pre-baked to prevent it from getting soggy under the weight of the toppings, which are prepared as the crust bakes. The finished dish, egg included, are popped into the oven just until the egg is set and everything is warmed though. Sam doesn't include the recipe, but if you're willing to experiment a bit, it shouldn't be too hard to recreate her steps at home. Just remember to take her advice: don't be impatient, don't be lazy and don't overcook the egg. You'll be eating your own tart in no time.

Hopefully, you had a chance to take a look at the gallery of entries for this past month's Does my blog look good in this? photography contest. If so, you'll know that the competition was very tough. Judges spend many grueling (drooling?) hours scrutinizing and rating the pictures before the scores were calculated and the winners were determined. We actually featured the winning entry here at Slashfood weeks before it was entered!

 The overall winners were:
1. Baked Strawberry Pudding
2. Cinnamon Sugar Beignets
3. Blueberry Tarts with Lemon Cream
4. Beet Risotto with Fresh Garlic and Fava Beans
5. Spirale di filo ai Pistacchi
