DRUM ROLL, PLEASE! The winners of the tart pan are: Lorna (#15), Jennifer H (#485), and Sharon C (#84). To collect your prize, just send me a note.
TODAY, because it’s raining outside…because Lily the Beagle is napping…and because I cherish everyone who reads this website…I’m giving away three super-duper tart pans!
A tart pan has a fluted rim that gives a crust a professional-looking edge…
And a removable base that permits the easy unmolding of the tart.
With such a pan in your kitchen-arsenal, you can make this Persian Lime Pie…
And this Lemon Ice Cream Tart with a Gingersnap Crust…
And this lovely lemon tart, which happens to be The Best (and the Easiest) Lemon Tart in the World…
And this screamingly-delicious Glazed Strawberry Tart.
The tart pans I’ve purchased for giveaway are 9 inches in diameter. That’s the ideal size for most dessert tarts, including those pictured above.
Now, to enter this giveaway, just scroll down to bottom of this post, and leave a comment in the “comments” section. Mention anything you’d like. Perhaps you’d like to tell me whether or not you make your own pastry dough. I certainly do.
Rules for Entry
One comment per person, please.
Be sure to write your comment in the “Comments” section located at the end of this post.
Enter soon! This drawing expires on Tuesday, June 17, 2014 at 11:59PM EST.
Three winners will be chosen at random (I’ll use the number device at Random.org).
Winners will be announced on Wednesday, June 18, so be sure to check back!

Enjoy your news letter very much. Have tried many of your recipes and they are awesome! My son ( a very, very, picky eater) told me that your Callah bread is the best bread I have ever made and my husband loves it too! Keep up the wonderful work.

Ooooooo! I would make SO many tarts! 🙂 And I would even TRY to make my own crust – I have yet to succeed but I have yet to try one of your crusts, and that gingersnap one looks mighty tasty….

Lori says
I have never made a tart. Probably because I don’t have a pan. I have been called a tart. I thought of it as a compliment.
Kattrinka says
MMMmmmmmm I love tarts, and quiches and pies….oh my! Thanks Kev!
Marjean says
I was called a “tart” many (MANY!) years ago but I’ve never made one. I’ve drooled over all the tarts you’ve shown us in the past few years, especially that lemon one. Since I don’t have a tart pan in my cooking arsenal, I think it’s time to get one, one way or another. Hmmmm. Chocolate? Lemon? Persian Lime?
Oy, just what I need, Friday Garden for the House drool on my keyboard…
Rosaria Williams says
I have never made a tart! These look so scrumptious that I might be tempted to try my luck.
Dia Koether says
I always look forward to your FB posts as well as your email newsletters. I have so many ideas of what I would prepare by following A Garden for the House. Now a tart pan would be a wonderful addition to my kitchen and I would certainly use it to make a lovely tart for our next family gathering. I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
Catherine Pica says
I would sure love and use one of your super duper tart pans, Kevin!

I really look forward to your posts every day and I love your recipes ! I would love to make the Lemon Tart with a Tart Pan … which I don’t own. 🙂

I do make my own pie crust using a recipe from the joy of cooking.
Thank you

Lori Mancini says
I actually made a ginger snap crust for a tart I took to a potluck but as I don’t have a tart pan I had to leave it in the (boring ) pie pan I baked it in. I have not had much luck with pastry but you make them look yummy and even more important easy I might just try again. Especially if I win a tart pan.
Kate Wilson says
I am looking forward to making that lemon tart next week! I love lemons and gingersnaps! I do make my own crust. I do not have a tart pan but I can improvise. 🙂 So delicious looking! Thank you for sharing!

Terry says
If I win the tart pan will you please send it filled with one of those delicious looking tarts?! My oven does not work and since I just had to buy a new washer and dryer, the oven will not be replaced any time soon 🙁
Mary Hinton says
I don’t have a tart pan, but if I win one, I’ll certainly make one of the delicious recipes.
Edward Zabel says
I have never made a tart and i definately woud if I had a pan. More than likely one of your recipes since i’m not inclined to be a baker. Hope they would all work with Gluten free Flour.
Betty G says
They look deee licious! Would love to make them 😉
K.M. says
Those tarts look wonderful! I bet those pans would also be wonderful for savory quiches.

I have never made a tart – I don’t have a tart pan! :o)

I think I love eating tarts better than cake or pie! And lemon anything is divine! I need to try the gingerbread with lemon ice cream recipe. BUT I need a tart pan first! 🙂
Cilla says
I saved all the recipes, but need a link for the richly chocolate one!
Diane says
Very cool. I’m actually making your rustic rhubarb tart for Father’s Day.

I do make my own pastry dough. The lemon tart looks wonderful!!!
Sarabeth says
Oh my — you bet I make my own crust! Your recipes look just too tempting Kevin! It would be wonderful to win the tart pans!
Teri says
In this family, hubby makes the pastry and I make the filling. Having a tart pan would be so much fun! I like tart tarts rather than sweet tarts, so lemon or lime for me!
Rose says
Kevin, all these tarts just assure that I can barely wait to purchase your cookbook and try all the fabulous recipes. I do some as you post. I just haven’t found the time to do each one, but I have been delighted with the ones I have made. And I make my own pastry dough. I love to make everything from scratch.
Susie M says
I can see lots of uses for these pans now that the garden is beginning to yield fruits and vegetables. I’m thinking of sweet tarts with gooseberries, rhubarb, strawberries, raspberries and blueberries….and savory tarts with leeks, red, white and blue potatoes, asparagus and more. I could really put these pans to good use.
Pam H says
Love your site Kevin. I tried your newspaper under mulch idea this year on the war against weeds and it’s been a wonderful success… Thank you so much! Oh yeah…and if I should win a tart pan…that lemon tart will be in my oven real soon 🙂
Rhonda Cunningham-Phillips says
It’s hard to pick which recipe of yours I love the most! I’m going with the lemon tart, mostly because I miss my grandmother’s lemon pie. Thanks for sharing all of your mouthwatering recipes!
Joyce Bradley says
I’ve got one and have only used it once. Do I need another one???
Erin H says
Yum, all of those tarts look tasty.. I do make my own crusts, but somehow don’t have a tart pan. How did that happen?
Linda Karosic says
Because my rhododendrons are in full bloom and because my peonies are not yet, and because a curious deer just passed the lilac that we are coaxing to be happy, I am going to enter this comment in hopes of being selected to win tart pans! 🙂
June says
I came across your blog when I was researching seed starting methods this past winter. I’m so happy that all the seeds I started in milk cartons are growing in my garden now! I check in regularly for advice and inspiration. Also, those tarts look fabulous!
Carla Preate says
Pick me! Pick me! Pick me!
I would love to tour your garden and sample your tarts. Both look amazing!
Teressa Honeycutt says
I hope I will these fabulous pans! …..Oohhhh if my Meyer Lemon tree bares fruit this yr I will know where to come looking for a recipe.
Karin G says
Its raining here too and since I can’t plant stuff in the thunder and lightning, I think I should make lemon tarts. But to make lemon tarts I need a dedicated lemon tart pan. Because I don’t have even an undedicated tart pan. But I have plenty of weeds. And things to plant.
Sooo….
Enjoy the rain
Amy says
I love, love, love your site! My husband laughs because I refer to you as my best friend that I’ve never met! 🙂
Elsa Lee says
I absolutely love your lemon tart recipe but since I didn’t have a tart pan, I cheated and used a pue tin from a pre made pie I bought awhile ago. Would love love a real tart pan!
Bridget says
Kevin, you are such a tease! Lemon tart!!! Your friend Ilene is so funny…ever think of naming one of your tarts after some of your fans? Keep up the great work. Yum!
Bridget Hittepole says
I want the recipe for the very dark chocolate appearing tart in the first picture, that looks soooooo good and rich.
Stephani Spruill says
I can’t claim to be able to do, or to know as much about cooking as some of your other fans, but I have learned so much from you and will continue to do so. I would be elated to have an opportunity to learn to make something spectacular in such beautiful pans. I use all the recipes you post and have so much fun doing it! 🙂
Christine LaValle says
My best friend is the QUEEN of apple pies…with this I could RULE the tarts 😉
Christy Fosse says
I would make a tart or quiche every week if only I had the correct pan!!! My mom, sister, co-worker and I love reading your blog!!
Sharon Curley says
Send me one please, I would love to make a super tasting tart. Thank you in advance. lol
Joe Allen says
Come on, lucky number, Mama needs a tart pan!
Debbie says
“I” do not make tarts. WHY? Because I have no tart pan and … can’t get out to purchase one.
I would LOVE to win one from you.
Yes. I would def make my own pastry. why bother making a tart if your going to use crappy pre-made dough.
<3 ya
Deb says
I truly appreciate your newsletter and the practical way you explain steps. I’ve referred you to a lot of my friends and now they also subscribe!
You are inspirational.
Judie Allen says
I picked 6 buckets of strawberries today and that strawberry tart looks heavenly!!!!
Julie says
Oo, I picked up two 7″ cake pans today for my traditional British Bictoria Sponge recipe (hey, it’s my birthday!), but I walked reluctantly past these beauties.
Have you ever tried a handful of cheese in the pastry for a savory tart?
sarah says
just made a pretzel crust lime tart with blueberry sauce, and was sad because I had to put it in a regular pie pan. also have over 30 fresh eggs crying out to be made into a lovely quiche, with the last of the spring spinach. love your blog and gardening ideas!
Vicki Judge says
Would a cheese cake pan work similar to a tart pan? Or I could just win yours….and not worry about it!
Luanne Schroeder says
I love the lemon tart photo. My mother in law instilled in her whole family a live of all things (tart) lemon! Whenever we cook with lemons (often), it makes us think of her.
Christine Thiessen says
The Lemon Tart filling is SO wonderful. Every one of your recipes that I have tried rates a five star!!
Shayla says
I would love it!
Sashi says
I’d LOVE to put that pan to good use!!
Deb J says
With a cool tart pan like this, I’d gladly venture into the world of tart crust-making! Love your site…it is always so uplifting and inspiring!
Melissa says
That Persian Lime Pie makes me wanna reach through my screen… yum!
MamaMary says
I have a Meyers lemon tree that needs to have it’s lemons made into something wonderful!
Patti Martin says
I’m more of a cook than a baker, but I love tarts…….and if I have a tart pan, I will joyfully try these recipes……..they look beautiful and delicious! …..and there’s something beautiful about fluted tart pans, too!!
Debbie says
They all look amazing………….decisions, decisions!
shirley a says
I have a tiara pan and no recipes for it, I have no tart pan but have your recipes for it.
Anyone have recipes for a tiara pan?
Diane says
I do make my own crusts MOST of the time but on occasion when I was rushed and had a lot to do I have cheated. And I love the person who invented the pans with removable bottoms. HUH< HUG< HUG!
Lisa F says
Not a huge pie fan, but everything tastes better in a tart! Your site just keeps getting better and better, Kevin!
Melissa Rycroft says
I’d love to make tarts! I’ve got lots of fruits and vegetables from my garden that would be perfect for tarts!
amy halpern says
OOOH I would love a new tart pan….I make my own crust…lemon tart looks amazing
Paulette says
I have just in the past two months been making tarts and quiche. What a beautiful way to present food from the usual plating. I love cooking and creating with the food. I believe my family is loving it also. lol. You have many good ideas, recipes, and a beautiful garden that inspires me here in one place. Thanks.
Bobbi Pirkola says
It’s raining here too! I love that the tart pan has a lift out bottom. I have my mothers old tart pan, but it’s a struggle to remove the tart. Now you’ve made me want to make a key lime tart. Thanks for your wonderful posts and ideas. I love them.
Deborah Rosen says
It’s (finally!) a mostly-sunny day here. I sometimes make my own pastry dough, but more often, I cheat and use store bought. Home-made does taste a lot better!
Debby Mc says
Oh! I would love to win one of these pans! I’ve always wanted one but it’s not something that enters my5 mind to buy until it’s time to be using one. The tart pics are drool-worthy! And, I just want you to know how I love mentions and photos of Lily. Beagles are just the most perect dogs; I love them to pieces (but never let them know they are anything but girls or boys…they don’t know they are dogs.) I lost my poor old 16 yr old girl, Daisy, this year and I have a hole in my heart and life the size of the Grand Canyon. Please, please give Lily a hug from this virtual aunty…I would love to giver her one in person if for no other reasons than to feel those velvet ears and see that sideslapping tail wag ♥
Sue Wein says
Yummy yummy pics!
Donna S. says
Love your site ! Wish I was your neighbor so I could stop by and maybe get a sample of some of your wonderful creations !
Karen says
Love your site and would really like to have the marvelous tart pan!
Sharon from Maine says
Oh, for a tart pan to try all the great recipes you share. So special for when guests come to visit.
Craig Evans says
I just came in from my garden with an arm-full of rhubarb, and pulled up your site to find that pie recipe from a few posts ago, and the pie-dough recipe that you raved on. Give me an hour, and it’ll be in the oven.
…oh… we can always use one more tart pan…
Martha Starks says
I have never used a tart pan and would love to try one out. I love your website.
Theresa Ryan says
All of your tarts look absolutely delicious, and have put off making them until I purchase a tart pan. Look forward to trying them all out.
Donna Craigue says
I bake often and would love for my crusts to come out as pretty and professional as these! Also looking forward to trying more of your recipes!!
Jane Rutkowski says
Love your site! I do make pies (store bought crust, I’m lazy) but have never made a tart. Yours look just yummy! I’m partial to the lemon one. :-))
JoAnn Clark says
Love your blog Kevin ~ These tarts look so delicious ~ everyone of them.
It is so nice to slow down to a pace where I can cook again ~

I’d make good use of it!!
Barbara Ann says
This pan would make my life easier. I had one and gave it to my daughter
Jackie Meyer says
I’ve never made a tart. I don’t have a tart pan and your tarts look so yummy I’d love to try one! My sister makes good tarts and I’d like to give her some competition! I enjoy all of your postings. Thanks!
Sue Sifakis says
I will use your tart pans very often in my kitchen !
Susan says
If I won a tart pan I would use it to make your lemon tart and your glazed strawberry tart. As well I would make my blueberry tart using the tart pan. Right now I use a pie plate to make all of my tarts and I hand flute the edges. Having a tart pan would make it much easier.
laura walker says
Oh I Love those! They look amazing! I would definitely have to do more just to use the pan!
Linda says
Each of those tarts look amazing. I’m sure with one of your tart pans, mine would look just as amazing and I would have to give all the credit to you.
Janice S. says
Dreamy lemon tart looks devine!
Robin Graber says
Tarts? You did say tarts? How lovely and wonderful and delectable! Strawberry tarts, blueberry, rhubarb? How about strawberry rhubarb? Lemon or a wonderful citrus blend….chamomile tea with a fruit tart and homemade whipped cream…Or a caramelized onion and mushroom tart with some ricotta cheese..so many variations, so little time, but the perfect tart pans make it an event!
Karen Kowalski says
Stumbled across your web page while looking for safe ways to kill weeds. Love reading your information and now following you on Facebook too! Thanks for inspiring us to treat the earth with respect so we can enjoy its bounties!
Annie B says
Love your blog, Kevin. I look forward to it!
Shannon A says
Of course I make my own dough! 🙂 I always look forward to your posts, Kevin! Thanks a bunch!
Norma Coates says
YUMMM……….love tarts……..never made one, but would love to……this would be JUST THE INSPIRATION………and for quiches…………….HOPING TO WIN!!!!
Erlyn's says
I look forward to you blog. I figure I can’t go wrong when I follow your recipes. So far everything has been a hit.
Lauren Watkins says
I’m new to your site and instantly have lived it! This tart pan would make a great summer gift! Crossing my fingers!
Maurine Johnson says
I have a tart pan, and I use it, but it does not have a removable bottom. Bet I would use this one more because I could get the tart out intact! Love your blog.
Mikaela says
I make my own pastry dough. 🙂 Have you posted the recipe to the top tart? I’m assuming it’s a chocolate tart … mmmmmm.
Tracy says
Hi Kevin,
I cook (a lot) and bake (a lot), including many things from this very site, which I enjoy enormously and check every single day. (Take THAT, advertisers!) But I can honestly say, I have never made a tart, nor have a tart pan. I’d love to try it.
Best to you, Kevin, and thanks for everything you share with us here,
Tracy
Kathleen says
Hi Kevin, I would love to win this tart pan! I went searching for a tart pan for your best lemon tart in the world and could only find tartlet pans.
Sheila Vives says
I love tarts and yes I prefer my own pastry dough. Tarts are wonderful to serve for any occasion. Pecan and Lemon are 2 of my favorites
Betsy says
I’d love a tart pan. Most crusts I make are in Pyrex or Corning Ware pie plates, and of a lower- carb alternatives like almond meal, etc. …or a crumbled cookie & butter variety. …Or I go crustless. This pan, however, would certainly expand my baking and be a welcome addition to our kitchen.
I am ALWAYS excited when I find an email awaiting from A Garden for the House. Thank you!
Robin says
Pastry dough and I are starting to make friends. Sometimes I use the store stuff when I’m in a hurry, but it’s never as good as the dough I make myself. Now I’m hungry for a berry crostada….
JP says
Wow, what delicious tarts!
Sonja says
Strawberry season is in full swing at our house. I would love to use some of those strawberries to make the strawberry tart!
JJ says
A beautiful news letter- thank you!
Kathy says
Thank you for this site. I’ve made many of your recipes. I’m experimenting on gluten free cooking to support a daughter and would try that among many others with a tart pan.
Joan Biddison says
My 15 year old son has started baking and would love this!
Arthur in the Garden! says
Yummy! No such thing as a bad tart! 🙂
Dianna B says
A tart pan….who knew that was how they got the crust out so beautifully.
I never thought about it being a removable bottom! A clever idea.
Thanks for all the recipes, Kevin, keep up the good work.
Donna says
A tart pan would be so elegant!
pam says
I’ve never had a tart pan. Would love one so i could make your de
lish recipes
Sarah says
Need the recipe for that chocolate tart! OMG!!! It looks DELISH!!!
Mary Johnson says
You make the most luscious desserts! Your recipes are always inspirational and I would certainly try my hand at making today’s recipe IF I had a tart pan. 😀
Nancy VanDyke says
Would love a tart pan. Thanks for the chance.
hilomark says
Mmm, that strawberry tart looks divine! What is really timely this week, however, is your recipe for scape pesto. My scapes are just coming on! What a treat!
Jennifer says
Can’t tell you how much I enjoy your letters and posts. I DO make my own pastry crust most of the time. I may try the tart today for Father’s Day dessert.
Sandy says
Would love to win a tart pan! I used to have one, but the bottom didn’t come out!
Sandra Allen says
Kevin,
I have never made a tart before, can’t wait to try your recipes!
Sandra

K–I just love your blog, look forward to it every week and share your gardening and DIY info with friends. A new tart pan would be a welcome addition to my kitchen and the contents to my family”s mouths!!
Thanks for all your hard work–we appreciate it!!
C–
Sharon says
Love your web site with all your wonderful hints & recipes. This is one of the best! I would love to win a tart pan to make your strawberry tart. My mouth waters at the thought of tasting this delicious looking masterpiece. Keep the info coming Thank you.
Sarah says
Strawberries are super late this year in Michigan, so I have more time to anticipate the yum!
Senlin Long says
Neeeeeed this please!!
Susan says
Love your emails and website!
Sheree Ashapa says
Mmmm! I may run to the store and buy the ingredients for this tart today. Wait! I don’t have a tart pan – maybe I’ll win one!
Willow says
Such scrumptious looking tarts! The crust is lovely looking also having been made in the tart pan and I am very sure that all of the recipes you have shown would be delicious.
Marie Camnpbell says
Ah, strawberries…ambrosia….a tart, heavenly 😉 !
Jayne Chandler says
I love your recipes and directions. You make fancy seem easy. Would love to make that dark chocolate tart and the strawberry tart and the…
Ginger Chambless says
I do so enjoy reading your info. I can’t wait to make this strawberry tart.
Heather says
I’m so happy I found your blog. You have such wonderful recipes and I love your house and grounds. These giveaways are fun and an added bonus! I would love a tart pan that makes everything look so much more presentable. Thanks for sharing!
Ann says
I could use a tart pan! Love your recipes!
Patti Panuccio says
Sweet tarts, Savory tarts, so many tarts I would make.
Kathy says
I love your recipes and have tried many! I have never made a tart but will after reading today’s blog. I will have to buy a tart pan unless of course I win! I’ll wait until Tuesday!
Patti Reese says
I absolutely love your site from the outside to the inside! I would love a tart pan as I discovered you via my gardening needs and now you are supporting my “harvesting” needs too. Alas, the only similar “tools” I have for my kitchen are kinships of Lily and they have that opposable thumb problem. It seems as though this ingenious tart pan would help all of us. Thanks for being there from start to finish, Kevin!
James says
I am becoming a bid fan of yours. Your recipes are always detailed and easy to follow. Many of your suggestions I have used around my yard and in my garden. Your strawberry tart will be my next desert project….as soon as Michigan strawberries hit the market.
Keep up the good work.
Jim
sharon says
new to this website — only signed up today — but I think I am already addicted — thank you — will be spending alot of time here
Katie Zack says
Kevin it is indeed the very best Lemon Tart! Alas all I have are three small tart pans so I had to figure out that doubling your crust recipe and keeping a single filling recipe did the trick! I have made these tarts for dinner parties and coffee hour at church multiple times to resounding success! But, I would really like to try it in a regular sized pan. The Asparagus and Sun Dried Tomato Tart seems impossible to do in mini pans and I really want to make one!
blake says
Its a beautiful day on the coast of Maine, and the strawberries in my garden a red and plump. Got to go pick some now.
Lori says
I would love to win this so I could try your recipes. I do not own one and keep forgetting to buy one until I see such recipes posted. Please…..
Priscilla Cuddy says
My little tart pan might suggest I need to lose weight but I want one that will serve guests as well. Our Oregon strawberries are the best. I call them REAL strawberries because they do not taste like cardboard. Raspberries and blueberries coming soon. I need to be able to share the bounty.
Sherlie Magaret says
I used your Joan Crawford method for a trellis for my green beans. Hopefully it will work better than the teepee method which grows so thick that you can find the green beans to harvest them. So far so good, the beans are winding their way to the top and will have some where to go when they get to the top. I am beginning to pick snow peas and have a bit of spinach and swiss chard now. Yummmm, I love fresh things out of the garden.
Jan Jacklin says
I look forward to reading your posts each week…Have tried nearly all the recipes…this afternoon I shall make the strawberry tart….I must pick some fresh strawberries from my garden first….
Susy says
I would love one of those tart pans, and yep I make my own pie dough. I’m looking forward to my raspberries ripening and making a tart with them!
Edie says
Wow, that strawberry tart looks fabulous. But alas I can not make it without a tart pan so wish me luck! And I just opened current jam too….maybe this is fate.
Chris Ellingson says
Thanks Kevin! Looks fabulous!
Marilyn Armstrong says
Aways look forward to your newsletter. Love every aspect of it. My granddaughter will benefit if I win. Her birthday is coming up and a fresh fruit lesson is on the docket…What a great bonus this will be!
Constance says
Oh those look YUMMY!
I make my own pie dough and pizza dough, still looking for a yummy and versatile bread dough recipe though
Hey my corn is doing AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They are getting big and thick stocks! Fingers and paws are crossed for corn this year! and to use the stocks in my fall and Halloween decorations.
Stephie McCarthy says
A very useful prize, and I will be searching my domain for scapes right away!
Jo S says
I would love to win a tart pan. I have never made a tart before although I’ve made many desserts. Since I love lemon, I’m going to try to make your lemon tart without a tart pan.
mau says
Yum! Those tarts look great!
Ava lansbery says
Kevin, you are the best!!!, I make my own pie crust because with the food processor it is so easy, and I always have the ingredients on hand.
Elaine says
I think you should open up a restaurant ! I keep all your emails just in case I get the urge to do some fancy cooking. Hope to get a copy of your cookbook when it comes out.
Terri Burton says
I do make my own pastry, the perfect crust has been an ongoing mission!! The lemon tart sure looks fabulous and since I love lemon anything, I’d have to make it first if I win the pan! Thanks for the great read and recipes every week! Give Lily an ear scratch for me!!
Carol M says
I’ve never made a tart so I guess it’s time to try…Especially if I win a tart pan!
sharon says
Love strawberry tarts!
Sigrid says
Thanks for posting all these wonderful recipes. I love your site and enjoy your gardening tips too. These tart pans would be put to frequent use.

I’ve been called a tart but. Ever made one. 🙂
MEGAN BLACK says
YES, I ALWAYS MAKE PIE CRUST FROM SCRATCH. MY MOM DID AND SHE WOULD BE 100 TODAY SO MY SON IS MAKING AN APPLE PIE IN HER HONOR. WE MAY HAVE TO HAVE A TART BONANZA TO TRY OUT ALL YOUR RECIPES. SOUNDS GOOD TO ME. THANKS, KEVIN FOR WONDERFUL, UPLIFTING SHARING OF YOUR LIFE.
Arden Rembert Brink says
Would love to win one of the tart pans — I have one *without* a removable bottom and it’s borderline useless since you can’t get the dang thing out of the pan. I’d always relied on that refrigerated pie dough until we lived in Costa RIca and it didn’t exist. For a year or two we would actually smuggle a few in when we went to the states, but eventually [a] we stopped going back to the states for several years and [b] I decided this was ridiculous, surely I could learn to make a pie crust! It was easy to get real lard there, which makes wonderful crust. Now that we live in the states again I’ve resorted to the refrigerated kind once or twice, but still usually make my own. Your tart recipes look great!

Didi says
I make a mean tart crust, and my pan is looking a little mean these days….
Terri says
If I had one of these tart pans, I would be making the strawberry tart next weekend for the big picnic we are having at the farm. The tart would be made with fresh strawberries from the garden. Along with the strawberry tart a rhubarb pie (your recipe, which I have used) would also be made with rhubarb from the garden..
Janice says
Ooh, I can’t decide which tart to try first! I do have some fresh strawberries just asking to be used, though…
Kathleen says
Be still my heart. Your Best Lemon Tart is my idea of breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Thank you for your posts week after week. You never fail to make me smile.

Lynne says
I want to try a lemon tart or a key lime tart! But, waaaaaaa, I don’t have a tart pan. Love your recipes, and hints, and pictures of the cheese hunting dog!
Cathy says
I promise the pan wouldn’t just hide in the cupboard for the next decade like some of our kitchen gadgets
Gary says
If you Tart me up, I’ll never never never stop!
nancy friesen says
My tart pan is looking old… could use another. Thanks for the possibility!

Cara says
I picked the first strawberries of the season from our garden today!
Cindy Merrill says
I use Gluten Free flour for my pastry crusts.
Marian says
Hi Kevin, I love your site, I love the receipes you share. I look forward to your next subject of interest. Thank you for your input on things, Marian
Laura says
I have been so reluctant in the past to make pie crusts that my neighbor, an excellent pastry maker, used to give me a supply of frozen pie crust dough as a Christmas gift. I have now started using your instructions to make my own, thank you very much. So, this past Christmas she gave me a pair of fingerless mittens, which are perfect for keeping hands warm while reading in bed.
Mary Howe says
I would make your strawberry tart. I love anything strawberry!!!!
Carol H. says
Note to self: Don’t read Kevin’s web site when you are hungry!
(Thanks for the chance at a give-away.)
Maryann Massar says
I’ve made many of your recipes, they are all so wonderful, thanks for sharing with us. Love to have this beautiful tart pan to make mine look as good as yours!
Gloria Gellman says
I have never seen a tart pan with a removable bottom. Te strawberry tart looks fabulous. Give Lilly a hug for me.

michelle gilliland mcafee says
This is great. Would love to try this out. Love your site and all the info.
Kathryn says
Love your blog! So many great tips and recipes….. think the only thing keeping me from making a tart is the lack of pan! Would love to get one!
Liliane says
Am thinking of doing more baking. These tart pans should get me started. Thanks for all the awesome ideas!
michelle gilliland mcafee says
I have never made a tart before. This looks amazing. I gotta try it. Thanks for all your info.
Marlene L. says
Love your site. Your tarts look so good, I need to try making one. Thanks.
Marlyn Anderson says
I have made a few tarts before. I do always make my crusts from scratch. I’d love to win a metal tart pan. I so enjoy your recipes and the tours of your home and gardens. It’s been raining here for two days – the lawn needs mowing, many garden beds need weeding, a tart should be made…
Sandy says
Yum! Would love a removable bottom tart pan so I can try all of your tart recipes. Love, love your website!!
Rita says
Would love to try this Strawberry tart in a new tart pan! Love all your recipes!
elinfl says
homemade dough is the only way to go.
Beverly, zone 6, eastern PA says
I made my own crust for yesterday’s Mint and Pea Quiche using fresh crops from the garden.
Really good!
Dale says
I always wondered how one got the tart to come out of pie pan so perfectly
Debbie "Behold" says
I don’t have a removable bottom tart pan and would love one. If I win please send along the chocolate tart recipe – it looks.delicious!
Ciao from Italy (vacationing here and enjoying great food)
Kathy says
Thanks for sharing all your knowledge!!!! Id love to win!!!
Beth says
I would so like to win this! I’ve been making tarts in pie plates because I don’t have the proper pan. I hope I get picked.
Pat in New Brunswick says
Yes…make my own crust thanks to you for giving me the courage to try again. I love cooking and the freedom it allows me but a baker, I am not. At least until I came across your website one day and liked the way you approach things… Thanks for your ease of writing and cooking…. And baking…..and gardening…and decorating, and….
Jo says
I’ve made lots of fruit topped cakes in tart pans (German style), but I’ve never seen a tart pan with a removable bottom. It’s been years since I’ve made a tart cake, and now you’ve inspired me to think of ways to create them again. I like using a variety of fruits, especially when they are in season. Yummy!
Liliana van Lawick says
Hello, Kevin 🙂 I enjoy your entire site. From the recipes to the garden tips and information to the lovely photographs of your personal haven. For me, perusing the photographs is truly a ‘mini-vacation.’ For those few moments I escape into the beauty of nature, and I love it! Your recipes are of the ‘to die for’ variety, and you make every step simple and easy to follow. The photographs you include with your recipes are so helpful, too. The one word I would use to describe your site, your way of being, really… Is ‘Inspirational.” So, I want to thank you for taking the time to do all the work you do in order to share these aspects of your life with all of us. I feel as though you are a friend, too. I am slowly changing over to more of a raw diet, and I can see myself creating a lovely raw, key lime tart using your giveaway tart pan! Good health and blessings.
Christina Pearson says
I so look forward to your posts, both for the recipes and for the photos! Thank you for keeping us so inspired in the kitchen and the garden.
Paul McGarity says
I always try to make my pastry crust. Sometimes it just doesn’t work out though.
kathy says
Kevin, just found your site and have been enjoying looking through it. Love it…thanks!
Jackie Peschong says
Everything from scratch always seems to taste better. I had such good luck with winter sowing. My neighbor vows never to use any other method to start seeds! Love your blog!
Janet E says
Kevin, I love your blogs, trips thru your beautiful home and garden and then when you stop in the kitchen – oh my – can you see me drooling? Give Lily a hug and thanks for the giveaway – would love to win a pan and make your lemon tart!!!!!!
Gail says
I make a butter crust using a little vinegar in the crust & mix with butter,flour sugar & salt. Press in pan. Comes out great. Thanks for all you tips & ideas.
Barbara Bruneau says
I would love to have a proper tart pan. There’s something about tarts that capture the essence of the light, bright flavors of early summer.
Karen L. says
I do believe it would be very difficult to choose a favorite tart from those pictured. Chocolate is always good but the strawberry one looks especially tantalizing this time of year. Yum! I think I had a tart pan long ago but probably lost it in one of our moves. Guess I should think about buying one (assuming I don’t win one!) before the summer comes and goes.
Elizabeth Gladden says
I “loaned” my tart pan to my daughter who in turn “loaned” it to another. Haven’t seen it since.
Love your site, your garden and your recipes. BTW, mine didn’t have a removable bottom. If I get another it will definitely have one!!!
Pat says
My mother made the best pastry dough/pie crust—but did it all by touch and feel—no recipe. I could never duplicate what she did and so have ‘cheated’ my entire life with refrigerated, pre-made crusts. As with everything you do, your tarts look amazing. I certainly agree with all of the comments stating how enjoyable your entire site and all of the content is. Thank you Kevin!
Joyce says
Love this website. All your recipes sound deliscous.
Erika says
I have never made a tart! Iwould love to win!!!
Regina says
Have put around 20 quarts of peaches from one tree in freezer. Do not know yet if the other peaches on several more trees are going to ripen with all the rain we’ve had. Made a peach sauce (think applesauce) cake the other day, which was pretty good. Have also made peach honey butter and peach jam. Enjoy your site.
Sarah says
I look forward to your newsletters every week I also go to your website frequently for gardening advice and recipes.my granddaughter who is 3 checks the tomato plants everyday for a tomato so we can make a juicy pie , it’s what she calls your tomato pie recipe from last summer.
Susan M. says
The bees are busy in the garden, veggies are happy little campers, you’ve just provided me with a recipe for this week’s dessert AND I have an opportunity to win a much-needed tart pan. It’s a great day!
Thanks so much for the opportunity — my fingers are crossed!
Barbara says
Love your site. You are an inspiration,
Thank you
Shari says
Love your website & newsletters! Keep ’em coming! 🙂
jo says
I learned how to make my own pie crust from my Italian aunt more than 50 years ago.
She said the secret was the ratio f flour to shortening –being 2 to one. That way if you need more flour to roll it out, the crust still stays flaky and ender.
It never fails.
Ann Tye says
Thanks for the weekly sunshine you send my way.
Lynn says
Looking forward to trying your lemon tart recipe!
Mary Ellen says
Kevin, I’ve never made tarts before, partially because I don’t have the right pan. I would love to win one of your give-aways. Thanks.
Diane P. says
Kevin: LOVE your website and your recipes! Would love to win this tart pan so I can make your lemon tart!
Judy says
OMG!!! I’ll be making the strawberry tart! It looks like creamy, cheesy, strawberry deliciousness on a shortbread cookie! What could be better?
Linda C says
What’s a tart without a tart pan? Just a pie, I’d guess. Would love the pan!
Annie says
OH!…. I want one!… I want one!… what fun I could have with making all of the above tarts!… I do so enjoy your emails and your website… very easy to follow and scrumptious!… joy, Annie
JT says

Happy Father’s Day to you (since you are the proud papa of Lily the beagle)!!!
Thanks for always sharing such wonderful recipes. I always enjoy your website!
Ginni says
I make my own pastry dough as do my 4 daughters… all using my mother’s recipe… it wouldn’t be the treat it is if we didn’t. And to roll it out… I use my grandmother’s rolling pin, I just need the tart pan!
Nanini says
I don’t know what part of your blog I love most….recipes, decorating, recipes, gardening, recipes….and of corse, Lilly the Beagle…all bring a soft,warm fuzzy feeling every time I peruse your site! Thank You…
Eve says
Your choc tart looks delicious!!! I would love to win the tart pan to make it!! LOL 🙂 I also have a beagle Barney. He is the sweetest cutest boy who is always looking for a snack! He gets along with his brother and 2 sisters who are cats.
I also like your lemoncello cookies! I will make them if I don’t drink all of the lemoncello first!
Jenna says
I love your posts and would like more time to read and create all your wonderful recipes. Would also enjoy even more if you might focus a little more on options to make them more healthy. Maybe a Mediterranean Diet Dessert Extravaganza?
Linda Noblin says
It’s a lovely Father’s Day in Dallas, TX. If I had a tart pan, I could make the strawberry tart and wow my family.
polly says
Love your recipes and gardening ideas! Right up my alley! Many thanks….
Karen Thomas says
That lemon and strawberry tart looks heavenly, and something a diabetic can eat without guilt! But I also want to try the lime tart. I forwarded the strawberry tart recipe to my Facebook page and advised my friends that even if they don’t want to make it, they should read your instructions. You know we will all be flinging our well-softened cream cheese from now on!
S Mohamed says
I love your site. I made the your Shirred Eggs with Herbs and Garlics today for brunch, Yumm yumm.
Valerie C. says
I’m a novice but I try 🙂 Your recipes inspire me.
Karen Chickering says
I have tried many crust recipes, but have never been able to duplicate my mother’s incredible flaky pie crust. therefore, I don’t often attempt a pie, even though we had pie all the time as a kid don’t you feel sorry for me? it’s probably a good thing, or I’d be much wider!
Judy says
Look forward to your newsletter – it’s the highlight of my week. Especially love your garden tours. Sometimes I make my crust from scratch but pie crusts ARE NOT my area of expertise.
B.k. says
Hi Kevin! On a pre-wedding diet now (the Shred diet and it WORKS!!) but I am so making the lemon tart the day after my niece says I-do! (hopefully in the new tart pans :)). Have a wonderful Spring day in your garden….PS: I promise to share the tart with lots of friends!
Angela says
Yes! Quiches and tarts! This will expand my baking big time. Thanks Kevin!!
Jude says
Thanks so much for all your tips and techniques in the garden and the kitchen, too.

I was just looking at tomato tart recipes last night and thought, I need a good tart pan first. I hope that’s an omen!
Maggie says
I would love to make that lemon tart!!! Yuuuummmmmmm!
Rebecca Madon says
WOW all those pies look delicious! I’m going to try them especially the lemon tart and strawberry. My granddaughter will flip over the strawberry. This time of the year she lives on strawberries.
Nancy jalaty says
Yes, I make my own when I rarely make a pie. But with this pan I definitely will be baking more!!! Thx! This tart looks amazing!
Heather says
Love to make my own crusts and one of the best gifts my husband ever gave me “just because” was an 2×3′ piece of marble he got on a job site. He thought it would be good to keep in the freezer a kid have a cold surface to rollnout pastry on. I think the “just because” was because he likes pastry.
Lenore Swan says
June 27th we are having a baby shower and the mother-to-be loves, loves, loves lemon tarts. My tart pan does not have a removable bottom and I dream of making about three for the party. Our Oregon stawberries will adorn the surfaces, with a sprig of mint tucked in.
I so enjoy my Sunday morning opportunity to view your website.
Barbara Barefield says
I want to concert your strawberry tart recipe to a gluten-free version with coconut and nut flours. Would love to do so in this cool tart pan. Thank you for all the inspirations you share.
Angela says
Thanks for the chance to win!
Love your website and thanks for sharing!
TriciaLee says
A tart pan AND the recipes to practice baking IN the tart pan! Win-win deal. Thanks, Kevin.
Krysta says
I’ve never been able to have pies or tarts turn out as nice as the ones in the pictures. It made me hungary!
Michelle says
One of these days I’ll try to make my own crust!
susan says
I would love to have a tart pan and it would look a lot better than a regular pie pan, that is what I use. Love your recipes have made several. I hope I win one
Thank you for letting me try
Angie Lloyd says
Pastry dough must most definitely be made from scratch. My daddy thought me how to make the best pie crust 🙂
Della says
Me! Me! Pick me!
I need to make this recipe! (Poet and don’t know it)
Grazyna says
My old tart pan is quite bitten up and where I live I can’t find another one. It will be a while before I can make garlic scape pesto. I made it last year and can’t wait to make it again.
jill says
Your strawberry tart looks ‘to die for’. In fact, all of your tarts look wonderful. Have never made a tart, but I would love to try. My strawberries just started ripening earlier this week.
Suzanne K says
I did a quick search of Kevin’s site for the delicious looking chocolate tart and found this:
https://www.agardenforthehouse.com/2013/01/chocolate-ganache-tart/
Yum!
Teresa says
You inspire me in so many ways..I don’t know if I should cook or garden, lol ! I think I’ll be making my own crust now thanks to all the wonderful recipes you share. (I’m hooked on the chive pesto by the way ! ) THANKS for all you do…and I’ve never owed a tart pan either, that would be nice.
Roe says
That strawberry tart looks luscious! I’d love to win one of these tart pans. I love all your recipes.
Karen Hermansen says
Must try the strawberry tart!

In my 50+ years of baking I’ve never made a tart! With a new tart pan (my first) I can start a new tradition with my family. Thanks for this new giveaway!
Ann Honer says
I love your recipe for pate brisee. I am ready to try a new recipe.

Your page is my guilty pleasure, I dream of gardens, kitchen, and home like yours. According to Disney’s Cinderella, a dream that you wish will come true….still waiting.
Corinne Montgomerie says
Oh Kevin, I’m always salivating at the mouth when I look at all of your delicious photos of food!
Marguerite Siderowf says
Would love to make this delicious looking tart, if I had a tart pan.
Meg says
I have never made a tart, never had a tart pan. I could never afford one, then when I could, just never thought to buy one. I would sure wish to have one now, so I could make that strawberry tart. It looks so yummy!!!!!
Meg says
Just in case, I am Meg Gallik, e-mail is [email protected].
Susan says
Gosh, I’ve been without a tart pan for years…I hadn’t thought to make one again until recently. This might do the trick. 🙂 Thanks for the chance (& the great recipes!). xo
Marjory W. says
I really enjoy this newsletter. Now that I must eat gluten-free, I make mostly crumb crusts. The tart pan would be perfect!
Amy says
I always have good luck with pate brise!
dennis lepp says
winning y;all s tart pans would make me soooooooooooooo happy.
Robin says
I’d love to win this pan so that I can make your strawberry tart with the first berries from my organic strawberry patch! The plants went into the ground last year in May but I pinched off all the blossoms so that this year’s patch would produce lots of berries. We have had four so far (this is New Hampshire 🙂 ) but there are loads of green berries just waiting for the sun and some warmth! Thanks for this wonderful blog, Kevin!
Mary says
The tart pictures look so wonderful. I have never owned a tart pan but have wished I did many times. And yes, I do make my own pie crust. Love your site!!
Deanne says
I made my pies with purchased pie crusts for many years but recently have been experimenting with making my own pie crust. It’s easy and fun. I would love to attempt making a tart. Kevin, your tart recipes look yummy.
Kat says
Thank you again for offering a wonderful free giveaway. I am going to make your lemon tart soon. I grew up baking almost everything from scratch. Now I must do it as I have to eat gluten, dairy and soy free. For your delicious sounding tart filling I only need to substitute for the butter. Can’t wait to taste it.
Please keep posting your wonderful recipes. And I so love hearing all about your gardens.
Linda A. Fleming says
Our son-in-law made a key lime tart for my husband for father’s day. A tart is special any time of the year.
M Brown says
I make my own crust and am going to try this. So look forward to hearing from you every Sunday. Did you forget something or did I just miss it? WHERE WAS YOUR GARDEN
SECTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ardell Barr says
Both my mother and dad made delicious pie crust so growing up I never made it. As a young bride, I decided to make my husband a cherry pie. When I rolled out the dough I thought the recipe made a mistake because it seemed too thin so I doubled it. Big mistake. Those poor little cherries were smushed into a thin line in the middle of all that dough. Being a loving husband, he ate a huge piece claiming it awesome. Unfortunately he drank a large glass of milk (trying to choke it down) When all that dough and milk combined in his stomach, the dough expanded and he ended up with a big tummy ache. We laughed about that for years. Maybe if I had a tart pan I would improve my pie crust skills. Thanks Kevin. Look forward to your posts each week.
Susan Turner Bankard says
Never could make a good pie crust until the food processor came into being. Made cherry pie for Father’s Day. Could use a good tart pan.
Elaine says
Would love this! Awesome website too !
Diane C says
Kevin, yes I make my own pastry crusts. I have never owned a tart pan so I would love it! Thanks for all the recipes. Diane
sharon c. says
would like to s tart making tart s….
Mercy says
I’ve nearly always made my own pastry crusts. I admit trying the store-bought kind and always being disappointed. Now that I have two chefs in the family, I wouldn’t dare do otherwise!
Jamie Smith says
Thanks for being so sweet……..love all your writings/photos! Happy Fathers Day!
Barbara Brochu says
I guess a tart pan will be on my “to do” list .
Thanks for all your recipes. I love you website and have passed it on to many of my friends who now back into baking your pie recipes. Barbara B
Marcia says
Thanks for allowing me to enter. I would not know where to buy this lovely pan.
paula K says
have a china tart pan….but can’t ever get the tart out to serve it whole on my nana’s cut glass plate. THIS solves the problem! Love your site Kevin and learn so much!
Mary Davis says
I look forward to each of your posts. Certainly could use a good tart pan. Enjoy your recipes and am going to try making my own my own crust and would love to use it in a tart pan. Thanks for offering the give away.
Natalie says
Hi Kevin! I ALWAYS make my own pastry dough and pie crust! I very much enjoy using King Arthur Flour products. As a matter of fact, I just made for Father’s Day a strawberry pie using their Perfect Pastry Blend. This tart pan would be of great use!
🙂
Joy says
Help! I have three tart rings with no bottoms! I’ve been reduced to rustic tarts, which are fine for fresh fruit, but not so good for cream fillings. Love your style!
Esther Morrill says
I would love to add one of your tart pans to my kitchen. This morning I made pecan sticky buns, chocolate chip cookies and cinnamon crisp cookies. I love baking and look forward to having my grandchildren helping me very soon.
Your website is wonderful and I look forward to your letter every Sunday. I also enjoy your posts on Facebook.
Julie Frey says
Never made a tart but will try if I randomly win! God Bless!
June says
Wow – what a neat pan! My mom and Godmother used to use these – they made apple and pecan tarts. Very fancy looking. Thanks for the chance!
Joanne says
Never mad a tart. Can’t wait to finally start. And attempt to make my own pastry dough!
Maureen P. says
Always think of you and your pesto when I see my scapes forming. Can’t wait to make. Hope I win a tart pan, you have some good ideas for tarts.
Cookbook Collector says
Oh yes, I make my own dough. I made two blackberry cobblers this weekend from scratch using a pie dough. The cobbler recipe I love to use is in several cookbooks by the late Lee Bailey (1983 “County Weekends”, 1986 “Country Desserts”, & 1996 “The Way I Cook). It uses both shortening and butter in the flour. I like dough recipes that don’t take any fancy handling, like Lee Bailey’s rustic cobblers and tart desserts. For a long time I’ve been wanting a nice removable bottom pan so I can show off nice tart crust edges.
lynn says
I have never used these pans, but they look awesome. I would be thrilled if I was the lucky winner!!
Beth Emhoff says
I don’t have a tart pan but after seeing your recipes, I think I need one!

Lucie says
It wouldn’t be Sunday without your marvelous posts! Can’t wait to try the strawberry tart — then maybe the Persian lime, the lemon, the chocolate — you will keep me busy!
Glenda says
Make my own pie crust. Have never had a tart pan. Would love one especially if my tarts were as beautiful as yours. Love your site. Thanks for your blog and giveaway.
Carole Mathieu says
I admit that I already own a tart pan, but mine does not have a removable bottom. Thus, I serve my tarts from the pan, and that’s not attractive. Your chocolate tart looks like heaven on earth!
Tania says
I love your website, the garden tour is marvelous, the recipes OMG! I must have made enough naan for 5 families. I’ve got the challa recipe taped to my frig. That’s next.
I’d love to try the tart pan to make the chocolate tart that you have posted.
Thanks for all you do!!!!
Carol says
I sold pounds of scapes at market yesterday with pesto with pesto advice. I hope our customers find your recipe, scape pesto is indeed addictive. Whoever wins the pans should make some tomato pie this season.
Dianna Kume says
With your recipe for the dough made in the blender and this tart pan, I think even I could make a tart. Thanks Keven. I enjoy your emails.
Lisa Barnes says
I’ve never made a tart, but I love to learn with a new pan!
Margaret says
I missed where you told where to find the recipe for the luscious looking chocolate tart. If I win a pan, I’ll find a recipe that looks like that!
Chris says
I deserve one of those beautiful tart pans because I am just as much a tart as the dish I will make with one of those pans! Love your site! Thank you!
Anne Walden says
I LOVED your lemon tart and could use a new tart pan. Can I use the strawberry tart crust with the lemon filling? Pressing it in would suit me much better than rolling it out. Thanks for sharing your recipes.
Deseree says
Love your site.
Kay in NC says
Oh wow! You are loved by so many people! I returned home a few minutes ago from my Certified Therapy Dog’s visit (he brings smiles to faces and hearts!) and you already have 353+ posts! See we love you all! The tart pan would be wonderful to win…I’m drooling over the ginger snap crust as I type this.
joan williams says
Thank you for thinking of your readers ! JOAN

I love making my own pastry! I truly enjoy it and it’s so much better than pre-prepared pastry that can be bought.
Abby says
It would actually inspire me to make my first tart.
Lynn Rector says
Your site makes me so hungry and happy. I want to try all your tarts and my husband also wants me to make all your tarts.
Wanda Ferguson says
I would love to have a tart pan. I don’t have one but have looked and red about your lemon tart several times and would love to try it.
Kathleen schnaidt says
very excited to whip up some garlic scape pesto, and if Inhad a tart pan I would most certainly try your strawberry tart recipe.

Love your tart recipe – so easy and mighty good! Thanks for sharing!
Bobbi says
Years ago I clicked your “like” button & ever since I’ve needed a ” love” button!
I adore your humor, your recipes, garden tips & home “how-to’s” on FB & in newsletter. 🙂
I don’t make my own dough..but if I won a tart pie tin I would happily learn!
Thanks for all you do, Kevin <3
Faye says
I always make crusts from scratch. I’m at war right now with the squash bugs. I’m off to the garden with my duct tape to check for eggs.
jo says
I’ve been keeping my eye open at thrift stores for a tart pan like yours…would LOVE to win it! Thanks Kevin…
John says
Oh, so French! When we visit France, I see tarts baked in these all the time. Looks so much nicer than the traditional pyrex ones available in the local hardware store.
valerie reiff says
thanks Kevin for the recipes and garden pics . I would a tart pan I would then make some
Jane says
If I won a tart pan, I would make a tart!
Evelyn H. says
My little chihuahua broke her toe a few hours ago when entering the house (little step) so we are fasting now for surgery in the morning on the toe.
🙁 Poor baby just being cuddled the rest of the day as her toe hurts. Breaks my heart she’s not running around wagging and smiling.
Lori Schmidt says
Oooh this would be awesome, sitting here drinking a strawberry (from the garden) banana, tomato, chia seed, coconut milk smoothie, yum!
Mary Germanotta Duquette says
This is great timing, as we are going strawberry picking in a few days. The tart looks amazing! I am allergic to eggs, though – so may try brushing on melted butter, rather than egg whites. Do you think that might work? Thanks so much for your beautiful website – very inspiring!
Cheryl Allen says
Tarts! I would love to learn how to make them but first I need a pan:)
Michele Layne says
Kevin I would love to have this tart pan! I have a tart porcelain but of course it doesn’t have the removeable bottom. I’m going to make the strawberry tart this week.
Jamie Shafer says
Oh oh – I bought an 11 inch tart pan at Bed, Bath and Beyond! Now I really need a 9 incher to make one – or all – of your tarts for my friends who gather every 2 weeks for fellowship. Your website is great – can’t wait to see the roses later this summer. Visited a beautiful rose garden today in northern Westchester County, but hope to see yours soon. My thing is roses! The more the merrier for sure. We had a very tough winter and I lost a few roses from my Secret Garden but many are thriving! Have a great summer and don’t forget to write the blog!
Donna Viar says
Love reading all the site material. I am being VERY successful following your instructions to root african violets from a leaf. I put 4 in my bowl, covered with water, and put saran wrap propped up by kebab sticks to make the correct environment. Now three have babies and watching the fourth for birth any day. Waiting for them to grow enough to transfer to their individual pots. This is a blessing to be able to share their grandmothers’ violet with family members. We lost her last year but through this plant we can still share a piece of her. Thanks!!
barbaragreen says
Love your site,at age 76, this would be great and inspire me to bake again…love all your site and receipes….still work to keep me going as if I retired, what would I do…need the extra income doing hair until they all die off which they are doing, but at least I can take something interesting to the party…
astrid sorrentino says
Love your blog. I recommend it to all my friends.
Fernanda says
I really enjoy your recipes!!
Alice Allison Wildermuth says
I’m in the middle of strawberry season here in Illinois and just taking a break from hulling, measuring, jamming. I am definitely going to try this recipe, although I’ll have to make it in a pie pan since I don’t have a tart pan.
Susan L. Golden says
I’m not positive, but I think that Kevin likes LEMON as much as I do! Pies, Cookies, Beverages, or TARTS! They are all delish! I’d say more about tarts, lemons, and my favorite blogger Kevin, but it’s back to the garden for me! I’m still transplanting all of the seedlings that came up in my milk jug greenhouses! 😉
Vicki says
Asparagus tarts, here I come! Thanks for great recipes, Kevin!
CynthiaJo says
Oooo yummy! I would love to win a tart pan. So I can make and devour some yummy tarts! Love your blogs. We used the milk jug greenhouses this year for our tomatoes and a few other misc. plants. Our tomatoes are in the ground and already we have a few little tomatoes growing! I can’t wait for that first sweet and juicy bite! Thanks!
Nancy rusinak says

Oh Kevin, I think I am in heaven. A strawberry tart, will lighten my heart. I am such a fan, I really need the pan. It would be such a sin, if I don’t win. Your hints and recipes are just amazing, thanks so much!
Brenda Bowling says
Teusday June 17 will be me and my husband’s 47th wedding anniversary. I was 1 of 11 children in my family, although my mom made many cakes, pies and cobblers she never made a tart, and I have never made one. The recipe sounds good, I would love to try one.I picked 17 quarts of strawberries this year from my garden so hopefully if I win I will get to try it!!
Laura says
The super-duper tart pan would be a great addition to my baking pans. Love your gardens and home remodels but your recipes are always over the top.

We could write a cookbook together!!! we seem to like the same type of foods, etc.
as everyone says, ” I could use that tart pan!” I’d use it for my Anniversary Pie on June 26th. It will be 44 years this year…. I use a combination of raspberries and strawberries with a glace on top and of course”real whipped cream – in peaks. We feel like a couple of pussycats when eating it and licking our lips. your recipes look like a must to try!/ thanks for your fun pages. B
Jeanie B says

Barbara says
I make “Anniversary Pie” on June 26… It will be 44 years this year. Have always used a pie plate before….. so tart pan would be great fun to try.

B
Susan says
I made your Naan Bread recipe for my vegetarian son-in-law who was raised on Indian food. He couldn’t get enough of it. I’m looking forward to making the strawberry tart. And, yes, I make my own pastry dough.

Cathy Carmody says
I’d like a tart pan, please!

As always Kevin, I love reading about what you’ve done this week. I never have made my own pastry dough.
Joyce says
I know this is a long shot after so many replies, but I would love a tart pan. But if I don’t win one here, I guess I better go get one. There have been many recipes I haven’t tried because I don’t have the right pan. So at least this is the push I need. Love the blog, Kevin. Can’t wait for your recipe book.
Jeanne in Toledo says
Love your blog because we both garden and have similar pov’s regarding foods. Keep up the good work,,,,AND the giveaways!
Karen says
I’ve just copied the recipe for the strawberry tart and all I need now is a removable bottom tart pan. I would love to win one; then I could try out all of the tart recipes that you mentioned!
Diane R. Ecker says
A tart pan would complete my baking collection of pans. I plan on trying some of your tart recipes right after I get my gardens in order. So much to do , so little time!
Basha Berl says
Then I could learn to make tarts!
Jerry in sealy says

I must bake ‘gluten-free’ for my husband, so I appreciate the recipes you share which are gluten-free. I would love to have this tart pan, and I know I would use it often – it would make these recipes look as wonderful as they taste!
Cathy Manny says
Hi Kevin,
I look forward to your email every Sunday, thank you for the down-to-earth advice and the scrumptious recipes.
Ruth a. Lee says
You make every recipe seem so easy, thank you !!

So looking forward to your cooking book being published and on the market!!
God bless and be well, SueEllen
Cindee says
I have a glass front mini fridge and having your tart pan I could try your tart recipes to display and then eat from my mini fridge..Your recipes are eye candy.
Pepper says
Lemon curd tarts topped with blueberries are my favorite, but with local strawberries ripening in the fields, I will have to try your fabulous-looking strawberry tart!
Sandy T says
Hi Kevin, I love your posts and need a tart pan. I have a tart pan with a raised middle section that won’t work for your strawberry tart. Do you have any recipes for this type of pan? Thanks!
Peggy T Rickard says
Really, really, really enjoy your posts.
BillieR says
I would very much enjoy winning one of tese tarts pans to try your scrumptious tart recipes. Just not the same in a glass pie dish. The ratio of crust to filling in a tart is more to my taste than most pie recipes. Thanks for sharing!
Kip Morrissette says
I can see this tart pan is made much better than the one I bought years ago…..too tinny and thin; guess you might conclude it was a bad investment. That lemon tart will be the one I’ll start with when you send me my tart pan. 😉 Hate to admit it but I haven’t tried making your dough recipe. I wish I had a marble doohickey to roll dough on. I think I need to make a ‘list’ so when the kids ask me what I want for Christmas or my birthday, I can tell them something besides a dish towel. I sure do enjoy your emails…you talk like we are right there watching you cook.
amy cook says
I am new here! These recipes look absolutely delish! I have never tried tart pans but I have always wanted to. I haven’t had the “extra” money to get any yet Lol of course I’m beginning to think with four small kiddos in the house that extra money is a fantasy 😉 Looking forward to reading more of your stuff !
Mary says
I would love the tart pan so I can make a tart with that gingersnap crust. So many possibilities. As always, thanks for the opportunity.

Jane Childs says
Aussi cook loves Kevin’s newsletters and recipes, and hopes she might be one of the lucky winners! All the best, everyone!
donald says
My tart pan collection is fairly massive, but that’s why I need another.
Kimberly says
I have never made a tart, but would love to do so. It looks like a great way to use fresh fruit. Do you have any peach tart recipes or pear? My pear tree looks like it is going crazy this year.
Tina says
Gave my tart pan with the removable bottom to my daughter…and I do need another! Of course I make my own pie dough according to your recipe! Thank you for your consideration and the first tart I’ll make is the Lemon Tart noted here.
Arianna Norris-Landry says
Yum! Though it’s a bit past strawberry time here, we’ve got berries and stone fruit galore all summer long. If you are very good and send me a tart pan, I’ll give you my super secret recipe for a fruit dip!
Betty Reichelt says
I had a tart pan and never used it, however now that I am retired for the last 2 years, I now have time to bake. I had several recipes I was going to use with my tart pan (that I passed on to someone else) but never got around to it. I would love to try your recipes and also try to make my own dough which is a task I have never tried
Sherrill says
Absolutely make my own crusts. Still have some rhubarb and may try your recipe with my new tart pan. What a fun website!
Marsha says
I could put to good use, a new tart pan, with removable bottom. I do make my own pastry, and bread dough. Love your recipes. Keep them coming.

Would love to put a new tart pan to good use!!
tracy says
I am not eloquent with my words, so all I can say is, “Wow!” I love your recipes and gardening tips. I look forward to your emails every week and my husband looks forward to the change from our predictable, boring meals. BTW, the Thyme & Wine Roasted Beef is one of his faves!
Thank you!
Lizzie McNett says
I don’t have a 9″ tart pan so this would be a nice addition. I prefer recipes that have a crust recipe that can be patted into the pan versus a rolled crust – like the Glazed Strawberry Tart!
Linda says
Those recipes would be so fun to try, and they look delicious!
Devon says
This giveaways are so fun! Thanks for doing them!
Carolyn says
Would love a tart pan but so far have forgotten to check back to see if I have won any of the previous gifts. Am having surgery on Wed so will probably not remember this week. Do wish you would send a reminder email to check or notify us via email. Love your email and envy the garden.
patricia sennott says
Here in sunny Blue Lake CA, a mere 15 minute drive from the ocean, I already have many ripe raspberries, blueberries, and for the 1st time, boysenberries! They are ready to pick for a tart or eating fresh or…
I always enjoy your garden tips and your tantalizing recipes, especially with Lily gazing upward. Many thanks for all your generosity and inspiration!
Stacy B says
I like tarts. I like to eat tarts. I have never made a tart. I would make many tarts with such a tart pan. Hopefully my tart would look as good as your tarts look. If I win a tart pan, I will take a pic of my first tart and send it to you : ) Tart fan.

Carol says
Hi Kevin, thanks for the chance to win a tart pan! The recipes to fill it are amazing 🙂
Elaine Parker says
Pick me, pick me! I looooove baking it is my “happy place”, when I have the doors to baking pantry open and I am busy baking to make other people happy. This would make them estatic!
P.S. Kevin I tried winter sowing for the first time, when I came across your site last winter. It was such fun and so easy, my success rate was pretty good, so happy to have found your site and all the info you provide. THANKS!
Anne says
I don’t make tarts because I don’t have a tart pan! In fact, it is on my birthday “wants” this year. Finally ordered myself an immersion blender last week so I am expanding my horizons.
Doris Gaumont says

Have recently started receiving your news letter…and I am enjoying it so much! Your recipes are inspiring and am also enjoying your garden tips. Thank you.
Sheri Rice says
Hi Kevin! I’ve been wanting to thank you for the asparagus tart recipe! I have a good story for you about it. I got married in May and had several family members coming from out of state for the celebration. While I kept insisting I wanted a simple event, one which I could enjoy without too much stress, naturally that was easier said than done. After struggling to get a seating chart done and meal choices to the chef, I got a call from my NY cousin the week before the wedding asking if we were having a gift opening the next day, or a brunch so out of town family could gather before flying home. Although my fiancé suggested I say “no,” I decided we’d host brunch at our house in Sunday. Yeah, I know….the morning after our wedding. I said the only way I’d host is if someone would help warm stuff up that morning. The week prior, I made three of the asparagus tarts and froze them, and all we had to do was warm them up the morning of brunch. My family is a tough audience but they devoured them! I had to make these one at a time because I only have one tart pan. After baking and allowing to cool, I transferred them gently to a regular pie pan and froze that way. A second tart pan would have come in handy! But I truly wanted to thank you for a recipe that helped me start married life able to relax on a busy day while looking like a skilled cook at the same time. 🙂 Nobody could believe I had whipped these up myself! I paired them with a fantastic cheesy potato casserole, bacon, bagels and plenty of champagne.
Joni says
I’ve never owned a tart pan – would love to make some!! Love your shared recipes!!

Misty says
thanks for the entry
Carrie says
I do when I have the time!
Alexis says
Your strawberry tart is just like the one my Mother used to make, except for the glaze. She used to take the bruised strawberries and mash them along with a bit of sugar and cornstarch and cook over low heat before pouring over the strawberries. This is the perfect pie for your tart pan!!!! Now I’m looking forward to trying your best and easiest lemon pie!!!!
Jane says
beautiful pictures, mouthwatering. I would love to try some gluten free crusts for my husband who can’t tolerate wheat. I think since the GF type is more crumbly, these pans would be ideal.
Thanks Kevin!
Cheryl says
I do not have one of these and would love to try making tarts! Do these work for quiche too?
Julie G says
Chocolate pie and garlic scape pesto–two of my favorite things!!
Carol says
Perfect recipe for the local strawberries just coming on!
Monika says
Made many pies but never a tart because of the hassle of getting it out of the dish. This seems to take care of that.
Bonnie says
Everyday I look forward to your blog. Your photos make each recipe so inviting. Well I couldn’t pass up your recipe for Limoncello Cookies which I tried out on my husband. He was enchanted by them. So for Father’s Day we were with both of our boys and their families and my husband insisted upon another batch of the cookies. They are beautiful, elegant and soooo tasty. Some of the family cautiously tried them out and tried to refrain from quickly picking up another one. Everyone enjoyed them and so did I. With my second time I learned to simmer the lemon slices at a very slow simmer so the beautiful pattern of the internal fibers remained intact. Thanks for sharing it.

I love your News Letter!!!
Patsy Price says
I have never made a Tart before because I don’t have a pan. I’ve been looking for one but haven’t found one. I guess I have been looking in the wrong places when I think about it. I’m sure I would make one or all of your recipes if I had a pan. Love your site and info it contains.
Karin says
this tart pan is very practical and I would love to own one
Mary B says
Making piecrust has been my downfall in the kitchen. My efforts fall short, indeed. It might be nice to try again with your directions and a shiny new tart pan!
Diann MacRae says
I’ve never made a tart but they look interesting to make. Lots of variety, it seems.
Marleen Loftis says
I like be your page.
Phillis says
Tarts are my new baking goal!
Nancy H says
I enjoy your website. Learned alot of new things. Would love to win a tart pan!
AmyO says
I have never made a tart in an actual tart pan. My tarts are those free formed by hand galette types with the crust folded up and over the edge of the fruit. A tart pan would be another great way to create something wonderful!
Patricia Newton says
I have never made a tart but I know I could try and then eat the whole lemon tart!
Louise McGrattan says
I keep meaning to buy a tart pan and for some reason haven’t yet. I don’t think I have ever eaten a tart except the little ones made with a muffin pan. I cook most things from scratch and I think I will try a couple of your recipes. I am also going back to the mushroom tart with rosemary for another try. Thanks for the great blog.
Linda Fleming says
Almost missed the contest ! I would love to

Thanks Kevin!
Katryn says
Holy yum !!!!
Sandra says
I didn’t know tart pans came with removable bottoms. I’ll have to try the strawberry tart.
Thanks.
T. Gilligan says
Looked at a couple of stores for tart pans with no luck.
Please provide the maker and place one may be purchased.
Your recipes most always sound so good!
Thanks for your newsletters.
Nancy Mette says
Love making tarts. Will be trying all the recipes above.
Carolyn Riccardino says
I shall love making tarts in my new pan using YOUR fabulous recipies of course!
Jeri says
YES ! YES! I NEED a tart pan….was going to buy one after making your scrumptious lemon tart but haven’t gotten around to it….Would much rather win it!
Bill says
I get a great deal out of your web site. I’m on the Virginia end of the Eastern Shore (between the Atlantic Ocean and the Chesapeake Bay). Used your Leek planting scheme and it worked great. Leeks now 12″+-. I.ll send you a pic later. I have 5 raised beds (5’X8′ ea) with newly installed drip irrigation with valves at each bed. Working great. Saves a lot of time watering. Peach and Plum trees getting ready to supply fruit for tarts.
Sheryl says
I borrowed a tart pan to make the asparagus wheel savory tart…but I would love to have my own.
Oh, and I found I had leek moths (in my garlic) and had just clipped out all my garlic scapes (and managed to save quite a few, with some careful pruning) JUST before you posted the garlic scape pesto recipe (which has nothing to do with tart pans, I know), so I made my first scape pesto – THANK YOU so much…it was lovely!
I really enjoy the recipes and everything else on your blog!
Michele Reeves says
I love your blog and all the recipes! Need to win this, Thanks!
Sharon says
That lemon tart looks delicious! If I’m making a regular pie I usually use pillsbury’s already pie crust! Just so easy and good!
Annette says
Your photos are mouth watering. I used to use tart pans a lot until they rusted. I’d love to have a new one.
Joan C says
I have never had luck with the rollout crusts but I do make my own press in crusts.
tina says
love the pictures, Kevin, and love your easy to follow and laugh out loud explanations. You have inspired me to make things and encouraged me to try others. I so very much enjoy reading your blog. Your sense of humor really carries the day and that’s why I keep coming back. Of course, the fact that you have amazing recipes, plus lots of information for gardening, decorating, restoration, and more makes this a one-stop-shop for all the things that inspire me.
I’m SO glad I found your blog and can’t wait to buy your book. 🙂
Barb says
Love both your gardening and cooking features. Have tried both with much success.
Heidi Haas says
I wish I was as multi-talented as you! When is the book coming out?
caryl says
I’d love a new super-duper tart pan 🙂
Dana Freeman says
I tried to purchsse a tart pan on Saturday. Guess what? No tart pans in our little town. And yes, I make my own pastry. My hubby and I make most things from scratch.
Sherry B says
Just came in from the garden right before it started to rain. Would love to make the lemon and also the strawberry pie in a tart pan.
Cherylann says
I have never made tart before, but have made fruit pizza for the children. Now they are grown, wouldn’t making them a tart instead be more elegant? I think so. Thank you for this opportunity!
LauraJean Hines says
LOVE your website. I ussed your newspaper mulching instructions last year and I think it was the best tip I ever used- no weeds for the whole summer and still no weeds in sight as of today! So thank you, Kevin, for saving us a lot of back breaking weed pulling! Now I think I am going to try my hand at one of those yummy looking tarts, whether or not I win the tart pans .
Pat McGee says
Hi Kevin You would be amazed at my lovely geraniums that are a result of your prune the geraniums in the fall and plant the tops. I have a full bed of geraniums in front of my home – something that I have longed for for years. Thanks so much for all your good information.
Kris says
All of your tarts look soooo delish! I am off to shop for the ingredients….looking forward to following your recipe to a “T”. Love your blog, and your humor!
Caroline says
I’m willing to try a new recipe! Your tarts look yummy – I don’t know if mine would look so good 🙂
Delores Short says
SURPRISE ME AND PICK ME- since I’ve never won anything-at 73 I need to win!! Time is running out—Love your web site and Lilly is soooo sweet

Amy L says
A tart pan has been on my wish list for awhile, and your tarts look so amazing that now I Really want to get one!
Erma says
This is one thing missing from my pantry for my every week pie baking. Have been making pie every weekend for my husband for 48 yrs. and I’ve never had a pan like this. Would love it.
anita says
All 3 tarts look super. If I win the tart pans, I will make them all, and even attempt my own pastry dough. 🙂

So love that tart pan!
Terri says
Would love to make such beautiful tarts!
Suzanne Glasoe says
I think those look beautiful.
I have a Duncan Hines Secret Tiara dessert tin. I am making my first fruit tart this week but don’t want the heaviness of the sponge cake. I am going to try dough in this pan. Hope it works.
You know those pans seemed like a good idea at the time, too bad they didn’t continue to support them, but I’m lucky enough to have one.
