We love tomato tart tatin, and it's so easy. You need puff pastry, cherry tomatoes, basil, live oil, honey (opt) sugar, salt and pepper, and a little cheese (also optional)
Roll out the puff pastry to fit whatever pan you are cooking it in (it needs to be big enough to tuck in all round). Put enough cherry tomatoes in the baking tin to cover the bottom of it. Season with the salt and pepper, and add a tiny bit of sugar. Sprinkle with a little honey and olive oil, and scatter the basil leaves on top. Cover with the puff pastry, making sure to tuck it in all round. Bake in a hot oven till the pastry is well risen, then invert a plate over it. Be very careful, as the juices will be hot. Turn the whole thing upside down, so that the pastry is on the bottom with tomatoes on top. Sprinkle the cheese on top and stick it under a hot grill till melted. Delicious - and none if us are vegetarians!

Mushroom tart

4 cloves of garlic, sliced
4 tablespoons of chopped parsley
350g defrosted puff pastry
Method
Preheat the oven to 220°C
Slice the mushrooms not too thickly

Fry the mushrooms in a pan with half the garlic butter
Stir in the parsley
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pastry into a rectangle
Place the pastry on a baking sheet
Using a knife, score a smaller rectangle 1 1/2 inches from the edge of the pastry
Fill the innermost rectangle with the mushroom mixture
Place in the oven and bake for 15minutes
Take out the oven and dot the remaining butter over the mushrooms and pastry rim
Put back in the oven for 5-7minutes until the pastry is golden
