Simple recipes for outdoors afternoons

Going to the beach or to a park? Going for a little bush wonder?  These  pages point you out to simple recipes for outdoors afternoons.  Add this to fruits and/or crudity and you are ready to go!  Great little snack for kids always on the move!

To go straight to the new recipe of the week, go to “le cake” or simply HERE.  I did it today for the local children music performance and manage to get a good photo before going (the cake was still hot when e arrived there).  Use those at other time for lunch box or get-together, garanteed to go!

The madeleines

This one if probably my favourite for  excursion: no cutting required, easy to handle, small size and quite popular.  The recipe for the basic version is HERE, you can vary and incorporate variations, one of them is with strawberries and rosemary (recipe HERE).

 

The log cake called “le cake”

I promised this recipe a while ago.  For me, it is childhood memories of delicious afternoon snacks. Le cake (sic in French) is a log cake , a simple butter cake flavoured with lemon or sultanas or candied fruits.  This is the new recipe of the week! Check the recipe HERE.

The palets bretons

Palets bretons are a type of french biscuits.  You need to start the recipe the day before,  even better, as they keep for a couple weeks, make them in batch dring the holidays season and use as required!  Again, pretty simple to make! Recipe HERE.
