Magical Breakfast CreamThis came from the wonderful little book “French Women Don’t Get Fat”, which is part story and part cookbook. The author claimed that having this for breakfast every day kept her slim. It is tasty too and a good way to get fibre. Adding berries and other fruit, of course, is delicious as well, but her original recipe did not call for them.

This is a selection of our favourite family recipes, so we can keep them and pass them down. Please send the ones you love so I can add them too. The only rule is, you must have tried the recipe first. Enjoy!
