The allure of a layer cake but so easy that even a child can make it !

 Here is a quick, simple and delicious recipe to celebrate Mother’s Day with your little ones. Told by my grandma to my mother, all you need are traditional French cookies called « Petit-Beurre » with a few basic ingredients. Decoration is freestyle and you can shape it and layer it as you wish. You can also add some grated lemon zest to the cream for a refreshing taste, or add cocoa powder for a chocolate version. I like it fresh when it is still crunchy, but also when the cookies have soaked and softened in the cream.

As a child, I was fascinated by the magical colors I would find in the walnut liqueur that our grandmother made in the fall. They were an almost perfect black. I love peeling fresh walnuts, take out the fruit without damaging it, remove the skin, and just enjoy the fresh nut with bread. The pear is another gift from fall. Centuries ago, the Romans ate it raw, cooked, and even made pear wine and vinegar with it. Enjoy the combination of autumn nuts and fruits with these simple recipes which bring out the best out of both. You will enjoy the rich and wonderful flavor hidden under their simplicity…
