It’s been a mad crazy week, so while I had every intention of making an elaborate Valentine’s cake, I settled on something more simple, like this Almond and Raspberry Tart. It’s easy to whip up and can totally pass for a Valentine’s Day dessert. It’s red from the raspberries after all. Unless you are my husband who insists, that just because it’s red doesn’t mean it can fly for a Valentine’s recipe.
Sure, so says me, the pregnant mama who is so giant and tight in the belly I feel like I’m gonna burst. This might surprise many of you (but then again, maybe not), but I don’t relish every moment of being pregnant. Don’t get me wrong. I love the end result and can’t wait to meet the little guy, but this pregnancy thing–not for me.
I know, gasp! But pardon me, the discomfort keeps me up at night, I’m short of breath all the time, getting on shoes is a chore and trying to find clothes to fit my short legs and big belly—not so easy. Alright, I’ll stop now, more so because I’m out of breath just reading that last sentence. Because if you ask me how I’m feeling, and I know you—take a seat.
But this is a food blog, so I suppose we should get to the food. But before we do—check out those sausage-size fingers in the first picture. Whoa! I let my babe talk me into that shot. Of course he thinks I look adorable—no complaints there. He’s the best. My point in telling you, I can never take credit for a shot I didn’t shoot. I love the way he styled the shot. Looks like all my gentle pushing on the photography is catching on, he’s developing a pretty good eye for all this.

My pregnancy was not at all ‘the best time of my life’ either. Hang in there. You’re doing GREAT!! And the fact that your baking, cooking, pics, etc. Amazing! 🙂
Once again your husband shows he more than just a great drink maker. I am rooting for you and your last few months; you are doing fantastic so far!
love the tart, Such a classic and really loved in Australia too.
Uh, could totally pass for a Valentine’s Day dessert??? Um, YES! what are you talking about? This is fabulous! And no one will even notice your fingers (which are beautiful by the way) because it’s a beautiful shot, period. I love that your husband works with you and helps and is getting into all of this! whenever I ask my husband to help, he has no idea what to do and no interest in standing there for more than 2 seconds to hold up a fork. And it’s totally refreshing to hear that you don’t completely enjoy being pregnant. . same here! Like the said, having the actual baby makes it all worth it but the discomfort and weird things that happen to your body (I wont go into detail here), are not fun at all. I think it was better with #2 but still, I feel you sister. On the bright side, you have the glow so enjoy it, cherish it and wishing you an easy rest of your pregnancy!
Oh what a beautiful tart Naomi!!
This is sooo stunning!
Gorgeous tart!
This looks perfect for Valentine’s Day!
Hang in there!! I have never been pregnant, but my mom who has had seven kids (yes 7 and yes she is crazy, but I love my big family) does not like being pregnant either. So you are not alone!!
This tart is perfect for Valentines day. Very pretty!
Absolutely perfect for Valentine’s – fruity and delicious without being overly pink!
He took an awesome picture Naomi. I feel you on the pregnancies. Mine were horrible (and that is an understatement). But I would chant my pregnancy mantra “short term pain for long term gain”!!! It will be over before you know it 🙂
Tart is jaw droppingly gorgeous by the way!
Never having been pregnant – I can’t really comment on that part of the post! Just keep focusing on that little bundle of joy that comes out of all the ickiness!!
Love this tart. It looks delicious!
Just gorgeous!!! You both did a great job with these shots!
This looks absolutely wonderful and perfect for a sweet treat on Valentine’s Day! Hope the pregnancy goes by fast for you so you can meet the sweet little guy soon and be comfy again!

This looks delicious! I had planned on making this for Valentine’s Day but the recipe seems to be missing. Maybe it’s just my browser?
Hi Linda the recipe issue is now fixed. Thanks!
Actually, in the recipe I can only see a list of “A” :/
But it looks so yummy!
Oh no! I can’t see the ingredients or directions. Hope it gets fixed. I’m looking forward to making this soon!
The recipe is M.I.A.! Please fix if possible, I’d love to make this!!!!
I am so disappointed –had saved this recipe to make tomorrow night and the instructions are not there anymore!! Help??
I seem to have the same problem as @Linda, @Marta, @Alicia, @Kristin, and @ Rosemary, the recipe is missing and only reads “A” in every display.
Sorry for the bother, but the dessert looks amazing and I’d love to make it for my mother’s upcoming birthday! Thanks so much.
Hi there, i’d love to try this recipe! Unfortunately the recipe is unavailable.
Hi there Naomi,
I’m new to your blog and like others have noted, the recipe isn’t showing up. This tart looks absolutely delicious & my husband’s fav fruit is the raspberry. I would love to make it for him! 🙂
Thanks
Hi
Would you please send me a copy of your recipe for Almond and Rasberry Tart. From the pictures provided the tart looks delicious and I would like to bake one myself. The recipe content is illegible on my computer, perhaps blocked by my virus buster. Please email to my email address: fluffy08@bigpond.net.au
Kind regards
Maria
I would also love to get a copy of your recipe for Almond Raspberry Tart. I found your site through Pintrest and have pinned several of your recipes to try as I give food gifts for Christmas. I hope you can help. Keep up the great work. Diana
