Lore

Kim-Joy’s bake is a miniature two-part menu. Broccoli and tomato give the quiches a savoury, colourful centre, while the mascarpone squirrel tartlets move the same Signature into playful patisserie. The combination is a useful reminder that a dietary-constraint brief is not only about substitutions: it is also about making a whole table of different shapes and flavours feel intentional.

The research index records the week as Vegan. The verified bake description includes mascarpone, so this chapter preserves that description exactly rather than silently relabelling it as vegan or inferring an alternative ingredient.
