I tried to pack the tart with some sweetened balsamic potato and fennel salad (added a fresh roasted garlic bulb as well) for a picnic dinner to accompany us raspberry picking but then a wild storm came and we ate it by candlelight while the neighbourhood’s trees blew furiously around us. Afterward, we hauled downed trees and branches to the boulevard until night fell.
