Website states: Pastry chef Elisabeth Prueitt and her husband, renowned baker Chad Robertson, are the co-owners of Tartine Bakery and Bar Tartine in San Francisco. They both trained at the Culinary Institute of America in New York. Elisabeth and Chad traveled, trained, and cooked in France and upon their return, opened Bay Village Bakery in Point Reyes Station, California. Using a wood fired brick oven, they baked bread and created rustic, elegant pastries using many of the techniques they had learned abroad. Chad's bread garnered the attention of Alain Ducasse, who wrote about the couple in his book, Harvesting Excellence. After 6 years of baking in the countryside, they relocated to San Francisco to open Tartine Bakery in 2002. Elisabeth was named Pastry Chef of the Year in San Francisco Magazine. Tartine Bakery is continually rated in the Zagat Survey as Best Bakery and Best Breakfast in San Francisco. Elisabeth and Chad were nominated for James Beard Award for Outstanding Pastry Chefs in 2006 and 2007, and won the award in 2008. Their first book, 'Tartine', published by Chronicle Books, was chosen by Corby Kummer of the Atlantic Monthly in the New York Times list of selected top ten cookbooks of 2006. It was also nominated for a James Beard award for the photography of France Ruffenach. Tartine Bread, Chad's second book, published by Chronicle Books is in current release: Fall 2010.

Overview:

The case is filled with desserts....plenty to feast your eyes on and tease your taste buds!

My favorites in order: Coconut Cream Pie: the filling was SO good, creamy and very toasty coconutty and the flaky crust was lined with a bitter sweet chocolate and caramel! Lemon cream Tart: very nice flavor and texture! Lemon Meringue Cake: flavors were good, cake was good...confusing to the pallet, my preference would be to stick to lemon meringue pie. Moving on! Coconut and Passion Fruit Bavarian: very nice flavor and texture. And finally the chocolate walnut chip cookies. I love walnuts in my chocolate chip cookies, always have, but what made these extra ordinary was how thin and crispy they were!

I would highly recommend a stop by if you are in the neighborhood!

Recommended Dishes:

Coconut Cream Pie, chocolate chip cookies
