This picture of the beetroot tart was taken one hot, steamy Sunday afternoon in Cornwall Park, Auckland, as we listened to the delightful tunes of the Dalewool Brass Band, playing in the rotunda.
As the band is playing, it is easy for our eyes to wonder over the other people ,who have gathered to feast there eyes, ears and mouths on their favourite band and picnic food. To our right are a couple in their 80's with portable table, portable chairs and crystal glasses with white wine. The chips and dip came out and a great time was had. Meanwhile back to us, we drank fruit juice ate Marjorie's Tea Loaf and Beetroot Tart. I have finally found the recipe !! So here it is-
