As Christmas approaches, we’re entering the festive dinner party season. My own Christmas roast for my Berlin friends is just over a week from now, and all I’m thinking is how I can make this year’s better than last year’s. Even though the roast turkey will always be the centrepiece, I think dessert is the course where you get to show off your skills with a little theatrics here and there. The problem is: I’m awful at making desserts.

There’s a level of planning, precision and artistic ability needed to make a good dessert… and I just don’t have it. So when I heard about start-up Tartatata, who make authentic French tarts and deliver them to your door, I put the flour, sugar and weighing scales away for another year and picked up the phone.

Tartatata is Sandra Serafin, a French tart-making extraordinaire who makes and delivers cute, gourmet tarts to order. Many of her recipes take inspiration from cocktails and contain real spirits, making them perfect for parties. Others are twists on classic recipes, always beautifully presented.

Sandra grew up in Burgundy, where she was surrounded by pâtisserie and pâtissiers. She started making her own pastries under the guidance of her father, but it wasn’t until later on that she decided to make tarts her life.

Having studied Chemical Engineering, the prospect of getting stuck behind a desk was too much and so Tartatata was born.

The jump from Chemical Engineering to pastry making – Sandra told me – wasn’t as strange as it might sound. “There’s a lot of science and precision that goes into patisserie. My studies were great training for that.”
