Delicious & affordable fruit tarts (4/5 green stars)
I picked up two tartlets from Heaven’s Cakes in the English Market and wish I had bought more! They were only €2 each, which seems amazing really. They were both fruit-nut combinations – one had plums on top while the other had rhubarb and the nuts were pistachio and almond. Both were delicious and I have to say I preferred them to the tart I tried from the Queen of Tarts in Dublin a few days later. Heaven’s cakes tarts and pastries are a little more rustic looking but I actually prefer them that way.
I’m also giving them 4/5 “green stars” for social and environmental impact. Here are some pros and cons:
Pro:
* You’re supporting an independent, family-run business.
* They provide a simple paper bag (preferable to boxes with plastic windows).
* They appear to support community events like a healthy eating day at a local school
Cons:
* I don’t know much about their ingredients – would be nice to know a few things, e.g., are eggs free range? Any organic ingredients used? Where is fruit sourced? Etc.
