| My 1st Tarte Tatin |
Three weeks ago, I had not even heard of tarte tatin. There was a competition on twitter with Galvin Restaurants to make tarte tatin and thought it would be fun to try. I found a
recipe by Galvin Restaurants and tried it. I sent in a photo of my first attempt and they selected me for the finals in London

The attempt I took to the final was my third time I had made a tarte tatin......The pastry was much crispier than my first attempt and the apples were much more caramelised because I cooked it longer. It is very tricky to get just the right colour.

| Receiving judges feedback |
I was really excited to find I had come third. I was given some great prizes including a Galvin cook book, restaurant gift vouchers and a bottle of wine.
I was really pleased to speak to the judges who gave me great feedback on how to improve my tarte tatin for next time. The judges liked the colour and taste of my apples and the crispness of my homemade puff pastry. I was pleased to meet William Curley, who makes amazing chocolates and patisserie, and he also gave me some good feedback.

I was encouraged to try the Galvin Tarte Tartin competition again next year, which I hope to do. In the meantime for now, I am busy making elderflower cordial, rhubarb chutney, rhubarb jam and sourdough
