This tart is an insult to pears. It's a disgrace.

This is the worst pear tart I've ever had. The pears were undercooked and the crust was burnt.

This tart was a disappointment. The pears were mushy and the crust was soggy.

The recipe was easy to follow, but the tart didn't turn out as well as I hoped. The crust was a bit too dry.

This pear tart is a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think that's because I used ripe pears. Next time I'll try using less ripe pears.

This pear tart is a great way to use up leftover pears. It's also a very impressive dessert to serve to guests.

The recipe was easy to follow and the tart turned out beautifully. I was a bit worried about the pears sinking to the bottom of the tart, but they stayed in place perfectly.

This tart was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think that's because I used ripe pears. Next time I'll try using less ripe pears or adding a bit of lemon juice to balance out the sweetness.
