The name Gourmet Kitschen is is a play on words. Kitsch has been said to be the opposite of art- a cheap, “slapping together” of things and passing itself off as art. I must say my cooking escapades are quite the same- a slapping together of random things I may have tasted before, wanted to taste or imagined. I am a very messy, irrational cook but I love it and it shows in the food I make.
Kitchen MIshaps and Victories, Restaurant Rants and Raves and a whole lotta wanderlust!

Kitschen Quickie: Tina's Pie Outlet
I LOVE PIES.
No seriously. I know I say I love almost everything I eat but PIES hold a special place in my heart. I love the buttery crust that's so nice and crisp and melts in your mouth.
I tried Tina's Pie Outlet at Anton Diaz' Ultimate Taste Test which I was also part of for my Happy Bacon. I remember looking at the selection and missing meat pies from Australia. I think I tried something with lamb and another with salmon back then. They were so good and I really don't know why I haven't had them since.
Anyway I received a box of Tina's savory tarts a couple weeks back and they are equally as good. Bite sized ( ok you'll probably get 3-4 bites form each tart) portions of beef with homemade jack daniels sauce, salmon with roule cheese, shiitake with swiss gruyere and tuyo with black/green olives and tomatoes.
My faves? The Shitake and Salmon ones. The beef was good too. I don't care much for olives so I liked it least, but if you like your olives, this would be a good one, there's lots in it!
