This recipe for traditional almond cream is super easy and so versatile. Wonderful on it's own, even better mixed with fruits. Use as a topping for compotes, cakes or chocolate puddings, or as a delicious cakey filling for tarts. 

Pancakes shouldn't just be for Shrove Tuesday, we should do as the French do and have them all year round. This is a delicious and simple Crêpe Suzette recipe - a classic still served in some of the top restaurants of Paris. You can withhold the Grand Marnier for a child friendly version. 

Meringues are popular with children and adults alike and so easy to make. They’re delicious with cream and fruit, mixed with nuts or just on their own. I like to make these small chocolate meringues for Christmas, sprinkled with a little magical, gold dust or sparkle, mixed with ground hazelnuts. I love that the French call the small round meringues “bisous” (kisses). Seems particularly apt for this time of year.
