Delia Smith's brilliant lemon tart recipe that she spent 'ages' perfecting Delia Smith, the legendary chef known for her classic and straightforward recipes, claims to have perfected the ultimate lemon tart.
The lemon tart is a crowd-pleaser, and thanks to Delia, who started her career in 1969 writing for the Daily Mirror and has been guiding us through the culinary world ever since, you can create an impeccable version at home.
Delia's lemon tart stands out with its thicker consistency, and as she puts it, "quite rightly I think, includes much more filling than pastry.".
"I once spent a great deal of time trying every sort of lemon tart imaginable in order to come up with the definitive version," she shares on her website.
Delia has honed hundreds of recipes, including her lemon tart, which she developed after extensive experimentation.
