‘YOU HAVE TO TRY… …Portuguese custard tarts.’ Martyn Lee, Tesco’s executive chef, product development, tells us why ‘They’re one of those wonderful comfort foods that are seeing a trendy resurgence,’ says Martyn. ‘Ours (see p13) have the perfect contrast of textures in the crisp, flaky pastry with the smooth custard filling, wonderfully caramelised by baking at a high temperature. We’re loving mini moments of indulgence like this, and British comfort food favourites are having their moment too – expect to see crumpets gaining in popularity this year.’
