A traditional French dish, “Tarte Flambee” translates in English to “Pie Baked In The Flames”. Legend says that the "creators" of this dish were Alemannic-speaking farmers from Alsace, Baden or the Palatinate who used to bake bread once a week or every other week. In fact, the tarte flambée was originally a homemade dish which did not make its urban debut until the "pizza craze" of the 1960s. A tarte flambée would be used to test the heat of their wood-fired ovens. At the peak of its temperature, the oven would also have the ideal conditions in which to bake a tarte flambée. The embers would be pushed aside to make room for the tarte in the middle of the oven, and the intense heat would be able to bake it in 1 or 2 minutes. The crust that forms the border of the tarte flambée would be nearly burned by the flames. The result resembles a thin pizza. With a flavour twist to your traditional pizza, this is a taste sensation like no other, cooked in the customary way using Quark, Mushrooms, Onion and Cheese for savoury and our delicious dessert version of apple and cinnamon. This style of food promotes the simplicity and importance of communal dining. OUR SERVICE: We bring the dinner to you servicing the Greater Brisbane area up to 50 kilometres from the CBD.
