Critique
 The only downside to this recipe is IT BAKES FOR A FREAKIN HOUR and has to cool FOR ANOTHER FREAKIN 30 MINUTES ha.  But well worth the wait in my opinion.  The Hazelnuts can be a bit expensive, but I'm sure if we had gone to a specialty store they would have had what we needed at a better price.   You do need a specialty tart pan for this recipe. Also when buying the pie crusts make sure you get the ones that come two to a box and are rolled instead of ones that come already in pie tins, they would fit the tart pan better.
