Savoury Tarte à la Tomate from Provence
Trust the French to come up with an annual event that is sophisticated, classy, a bit rebellious and a whole lot of fun. Diner en Blanc started in 1988 when a group of 100 friends got together for a reunion in the Bois de Boulogne. Nutmeg would like to share one of her favourite recipes from that evening, the Tarte à la Tomate. This is an easy recipe to honour the childlike simplicity of dressing up and having some fun.

This looks amazing! Can’t wait to try, as it is a little different from my own recipe (which I got from a friend in Provence!).
