Gainsborough Tart

A glance at my mum's old cook book she got free when she bought her new cooker in the early 'fifties. I just happened to turn up the page showing an 'well tried favourite' from Lincolnshire.

The recipe for Gainsborough Tart can be seen here

Excellent! What a nice little treasure to have! Never tried gainsborough tart, but it sounds very nice! Can I have all of the recipe?!

Gainsborough tart, page 114, spooky! We have a copy of the same book, I've just checked the page No., some of the recipes are amazing, my favourite is on page 30, Baked Cod's Head. When I say my favourite, I haven't tried it (and I don't want to)

Gainsborough tart picture tomorrow Ray?

Hey Ray...I'm late to the party here! But I love this. The lighting is fantastic. I have to ask, is this changed in PS or is it the way it looks? It almost looks like a sepia type finish, but it could just be the soft natrual lighting! Love the "stains" on the pages!! Nicely done!!

Interesting to see that your mum was cooking on a nuclear powered stove... so that's why you glow in the dark Ray!! (Wouldn't mind having a shot at the recipe myself) BTW excellent image Ray!

I agree with everyone. This is a wonderful image. So u going to bake it? I'll be right over.:)

If there was ever a way to make an old cookbook look intimate, you've done it! This is wonderful! Beautiful lighting and it's very striking against the black. Well done!

Excellent, excellent, excellent. I love the lighting, love the crop, love the whole thing. This is great.

Food was good in the “fifties”, it was homemade. Good idea well carried out.
