Golden pastry isn't on the shopping list every week in the way that milk or eggs are. But it should probably be on that monthly shop, alongside things like coffee beans and paper towel.

Having some all-butter puff pastry in the freezer means that at a moment's notice you can whip together a quick breakfast for the week, a delicious side dish for any meal, or it could even make a fast weeknight dinner using David Herbert's asparagus tart recipe. Lean in. Indulge this week! Happy cooking.
