Mother's Day

 Today is Mother's Day in France. We kicked it off with a card featuring Lucius's 'lunch face'

Followed by lovely roses. We had boiled eggs and spelty soldiers for breakfast. Then came the task of putting lunch together. Ottolenghi supplied all of the recipes, so it was bound to turn out well

 Lunch included amazing broad beans from our garden

 Which became a broad bean, radish and leek salad

 Accompanied by a cous-cous, lentil, saffron and leek salad

 
Flanked by roasted potatoes, lemons, garlic and olives

 
 Followed by giant vanilla meringues

 Which oozed sweetness after 2hrs of slow cooking

 A grand accompaniment to strawberries, peaches, mint & creme-fraiche.
Job done
