Pour le petit creux – Biscuits à l’avoine, noix de cajou et chocolat noir This translation from French into English does not work. When we say “j’ai un petit creux” that translates literally into “I have a little hole“, but it means “I have a hole in my stomach“, so that “I am a little hungry“.  [...]

Très mangue – Papillote de mangues trois façons It’s the season for those gorgeous keitt mangoes, so nothing better that using seasonal fruits.

Quand on a envie de banane! – Cake à la banane et flocons d’avoine I think I am getting into a “oat phase” these days. I try to put oats and oat bran wherever I can.
