First off, I would like to comment on the ugly styling and composition of the above photo. This will probably go down as one of the worst styled food photos on my blog. It’s so unlike me, first off I used flash. Flash?! I hate flash, it’s about on the same hate-level as running.

The oozing filling, and falling apart nature of this photo will probably tell you most of what you need to know about these lemon bars. Shortbread crust, with a slightly tangy, totally lemony filling…

By chance I picked up this book Tartine at the library quite a few years ago. The first time I cracked open the pages, I fell on love. My Grandma got the book for me a few months later, and a few hours after that I was on a obsessed to cook everything in that book. It has become one of my can’t-live-without cookbooks. And visiting the  Tartine Bakery in San Fran is so on the bucket list.

Anyway, you can follow the recipe here.
