Pistachio Lemon Bars

"Bars or slices, squares or shortbreads, however you call the simple shortcrust base with gooey topping cut into pieces for ease of handling, rather than for restraint in consuming, it’s an awesome good invention. I’m completely converted – since, to be honest, quite a few cakes can be cut into rectangles and called ‘slices’, it opens a new world of possibilities. And the lemon topping on this one is rhapsodic. And if my inner baking snob is not happy with bars or slices I can always keep the thing whole, serve it in tranches with forks and call it a tarte."
