raspberry lemon tartlets and tuiles

raspberry lemon tartlets and crispy corkscrews

When shaping the tuiles, I thought about the Joy Luck Club in which one of the women worked in a fortune cookie factory. They were docked pay for each improperly shaped cookie, so she would eat her mistakes. I ate my mistakes, too, at first because of the tuiles' crisp, sweet addictive qualities, and then simply out of compulsion. I hate seeing the mistakes.
