A Small Slice of Versailles

A tart, inspired by the elaborate pastry-making at Versailles, made with poached apricots, marzipan, pistachios and pastry cream, in New York, June 1, 2018. The art of cooking was undergoing a particularly dramatic transformation in France between 1682 and 1789, and apricots were often featured in the intricate desserts made in aristocratic and royal houses of the period.
