Cherry Tomato Upside Down Tart Recipe

Yesterday, I featured Claire Thomas’ much-anticipated first cookbook. Today: a look at one of her favorite recipes found within, a Cherry Tomato Upside Down Tart. I asked Claire to share some of the inspiration behind this inventive dish:

CT: Sometimes I get ideas from envisioning a recipe as it would be photographed. While writing this cookbook, I couldn’t shake the image of a tarte tatin (a French upside-down apple tart) with tomatoes. The ultimate in brunch sophistication and perfect centerpiece for a vegetarian meal, the roasted tomatoes, hearty sautéed spinach, and flakey, tender crust that make up this dish are a dynamite combination.

Stay tuned tomorrow for my profile on Claire and her equally lovely Los Feliz home. XXJKE
