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
