I'd give this torte a 4 out of 5 stars. It's a good recipe, but it's not the best rhubarb strawberry torte I've ever had.

I'm not a big fan of fruit desserts, but this torte was surprisingly good. The crust was flaky and the filling was tart and sweet.

This torte was a bit too tart for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I think I'll add a little more sugar next time.

I used frozen rhubarb and strawberries for this torte, and it turned out great. It's a great way to use up leftover fruit.
