It is hard to believe that our Vermont Food Photography and Styling Workshop is already come and gone. After I dropped my partner-in-crime, Bea at the train station, on my way back home, I couldn’t help but to think the nature of these types of activities. They usually take months of preparation and then go by so quickly. I find it somewhat unfair that the concept of time between the prep and the actual event are so different from one another. I am still in the process of putting together the hundreds of photos I took from the workshop and plan on sharing some of them here. However, I wanted to quickly pop by and share this Heirloom Tomato Ricotta Tart that Bea and I made as a preparation to our workshop. The styling here is Bea’s incredible work and photos are taken by me. This is a beautiful savory ricotta and cherry tomato tart that is perfect for summer. I personally plan on making it my go-to summer brunch dish especially after I am able to find the candy-like cherry tomatoes that our local farmer’s markets are known for here in Vermont.
How To Make Tomato Ricotta Tart:
The recipe has 4 folds: While the recipe below looks long, the process is pretty straightforward. Like it is with most tart recipes, you have to wait a little bit for the dough to come together and then bake, but the rest is pretty easy. What I personally love about this recipe is the ricotta filling. It is made by mixing ricotta with parmesan, cream cheese, lemon zest, juice, salt and pepper. I love it because its flavors lend themselves so well with the juicy summer-y tomatoes.
