food, which is curious, because any town dedicated to the pursuit of pleasure is probably going to know a bit about good nosh. And also, St Tropez is in Provence, where food and wine is everything. Our party did. dine out at some very


nice restaurants in the town itself and also on the beach, but we also had several meals a t home cooked by our hostess Karen, by friend Renate, who lives in Nice with husband Jacques, and our hus­ bands who barbecued. The rest of the girls did the washing upl However, one place we did go for lunch


was very chic - Club 55 on the Bale de Pampelonne, just outside St Tropez. It was once a ramshackle beach hut, home to a family of French explorers, the de Colmonts, who ended up catering for the cast and crew of Bardot's “And God Cre­ ated Woman” in 1956. Gradually, over 30 years, 55 became a


destination for the more chic, low-key ele­ ments of the St Tropez crowd. We were _ amazed when we saw huge cork platters of raw vegetables, about a foot in diame­ ter and dressed’with the house sauce, being served to the beautiful slim people of France. However, we chose various dishes from


artichokes and vinaigrette, huge bowls of mussels in cream, grilled gambas, fillet steaks. For starters Philip and myself had a


For the pastry: • 250g flour • 175g butter, cut into small pieces • 2 egg yolks, lightly beaten • beans for baking blind


Ingredients (serves six)


For the filling: • 50g butter • 2 tbs olive oil • 400g onions, finely sliced • 120ml single cream • 2 eggs • V2 tsp freshly grated nutmeg • sea salt •


freshly ground black pepper 1. To make the pastry, put the flour in a


bowl, add the butter and rub together with fingertips until the mixture resem­ bles breadcrumbs Using a round-bladed knife in a cutting motion, combine the egg yolks with the mix imtil a pastry ball forms. Turn out on a lightly floured sur­ face and quickly knead until the pastry is even and smooth, then wrap and place in the fridge to chill for 30 minutes. Heat the oven to 200°C/gas 6. 2. Roll out the pastry on a lightly floured surface and line a 30cm push-up- bottom flan tin. Return to the fridge to chill for another 20 minutes, then line with baking parchment and fill with bak­ ing beans. Bake for 20 minutes, reduce the heat to 160°C/gas 3, and cook for a further 15 minutes, or until the pastry is ■ golden and set. 3. While the pastry is baking, make the


filling. Melt the butter with the oil in a saucepan. Add the finely sliced onions and cook over a low heat for 30 minutes. This long slow method of cooking makes the onions melt; do not allow them to brown or frizzle. 4. Mix the cream, eggs, nutmeg and


seasoning in a bowl. Put the cooked onions in the baked pastry case, careful­ ly pour in the egg mixture and then return the tart to the oven to cook for 25- 30 minutes. Serve warm or cold.


A taste of New Zealand


THROUGHOUT June, July and August we at Byrnes will be promoting the wines of New Zealand. We carry an expansive range and in general the style of wines on offer are perfectly suited to fine summer drinking, mites mne expert TIM BYRNE The popularity of New Zealand wines


continues to grow in the UK, much of the popularity must be credited to sauvignon blanc - planted widely - its fresh, fruity style instantly appealing to both novices and connoisseurs alike. Be aware, however, of the host of grape


varieties planted successfully throughout North and South islands. Look to North Island for sublime chardonnays and fine elegant cabernets and to South Island for fresh, fruity whites and increasingly excel­ lent pinot noir. For this very reason I have put together


a “Taste of New Zealand” case (leaflets in store) incorporating all major grape vari­ eties and wine growing regions, my hope is th a t people can taste the diversity of styles on offer and obtain a feel for region- ality. In January I visited a new development

in South Island’s Marlborough region, cre­ ated by talented Australian winemaker Ant Moore. Catalina Sounds is a 70-acre develop­


ment concentrating on the higher valleys around Marlborough. For our group of wine merchants. Ant


conducted a blind tasting of a selection of Marlborough’s finest sauvignon blancs including, of course, his own wines. Within their respective price categories both Crowded House at £6.99 and Catalina Sounds at £8.99 received the largest show of hands, the very essence of crisp, elegant sau-vignon fruit. I recommend both high­


ly-Fabulous sauvignon blanc is only a frac­ tion of New Zealand’s vinhos pleasure. Look out for pure hmey rieslings, full-bod­ ied aromatic gewurztraminer and pinot gris, subtle chardonnays, fine cabernets and some seriously silky pinot noir. Regionality dictates individual style, but the overall common quality simply shin­ ing from New Zealand’s wines is one of freshness and purity of fruit.
