When I think of Lemon Curd I think of Paul Rhodes Notting Hill Gate Bakery. Unfortunately this branch is not open anymore. But for me it was a beacon. In my first years trying to make a living in London. The named bakery sold Lemon Tarts. And the combination of its dough (in French terms Pâte Brisée) and its Lemony Curd was brilliant. So with the little budget I had. I would buy a single Tart. And eat it. While sitting on a bench. In my favourite gardens at the opposite side of the road. And the odd thing is. I’m not a fan of tarts. But this zesty combination of Butter, Lemon, Sugar and soft Wheat made my heart melt
