One thought on “Michel Roux raspberry and almond frangipane tart with cartagen liquor recipe on Michel Roux’s French Country Cooking

  1. I would like to give some feedback, and perhaps seek his feedback, about his raspberry frangipane recipe I tried and was utterly disappointed with one section of it.

    I am a regular baker, so followed his recipe as accurately as possible for this tart. I even watched Michel Roux made it on cookery show. The pastry and creme d’amande filling looked perfect, yet when I put into the oven everything started to boil over and made a mess. I also used the correct size tart tin! However, the taste was divine despite aesthetically it looked a mess!!

    I would love to try this recipe again, so trying to find out where I may have gone wrong. Perhaps I should have used a larger tart tin?

    Any feedback would be most welcome.
