In her cookbook, “Cindy’s Supper Club,” Cindy Pawlcyn, the Napa Valley California chef shares recipes learned from her travels and adventures around the world. I love the simple shortbread crust she uses with this tart. Easy to make and delicious with a little dollop of whipped cream or slices of fresh pineapple to remind us of the Hawaiian connection and the aloha spirit.
