About

Finding room for a pudding can be quite a challenge at the end of a wonderful meal and, as far as I’m concerned, there’s just no question of going without. This dessert is the answer: it’s the world’s lightest and most delicate apple tart.

The recipe comes from the Biblioteca restaurant, just a stone’s throw from the Boquería market in Barcelona’s vibrant Raval quarter. The chef, Inake Lopez, cooks like a dream using seasonal ingredients with refreshing simplicity.<
