Courgettes, zucchini for the Américains, are so versatile, easy to prepare and I think a vegetable eaten and enjoyed by almost everyone. It is a safe food to start introducing vegetables to babies and children generally prefer courgettes to peas. What’s not to like about courgettes. So, cheers to courgettes!

Pincée de fleur de sel:

• Add  some cumin grains to the courgettes
• Spread some mustard on the base of the tart before adding the filling.
• Use puff pastry instead of the phylo.
• Replace the feta cheese with rounds of goats cheese and drizzle with honey.

Enjoy!

Just as I think all the chicks are almost grown up, a hen shows up with a little new born chick fluttering around her. The buzzards are also informed by their secret sources that a newborn is availabe and they do take their chances. Unfortunately for them, there is nothing more fierce than a mother hen.
