Careme pastry

Incredible stuff.

On A's annual pilgrimage to celebrate her birthday with large amounts of red wine, we discovered Careme pastry at Charles Melton.

Normally it is homemade pastry but we have recently had some Careme in the freezer. The sour cream short crust pastry used for a lemon tart and some puff pastry for chicken and leek pies. It is expensive but you just cannot match it either by making it or with a generic brand. The puff pastry puffed about 70mm and after taking the pies out of the oven, it slowly settled like a souffle.
