Kitchen capers

In order to keep myself somewhat occupied and not napping all the time I've taken on cooking. with a little help from my mom and her store of recipes and culinary ingenuity she's bravely taken me into the kitchen. what follow are some of the results of my newfound skills...Peach tart à la Bonne Maman! quite the crowd pleaser and way easy... especially with the roll-out pastry dough that they've got here. use it for tart, quiche, appetizers - it works like a dream and cooks up flaky and wonderful! we bring rolls of it back when we come home.

Beignets de courgettes farcis (stuffed fried zucchini flowers!) so we bought a bunch of zucchinis from an old couple in the country one one of our Sullivan family drives through the country and on top were the blossoms, which the woman told us to fry up and eat. normally you're charged extra for the blossoms with the zuccinis but they gave us these for free with our purchase. we stuffed them with herbed ricotta and they turned out to be deeeelicious! (the pic is pre-frying.)

straaaawberries that ended up being made into confiture that we now put over yogurt in the morning for breakfast!
