choco-banana heaven

I had a guest in my kitchen last week end. Miss N came over to bake. I taught her how to make banana bread a while ago and this time, we were making a family recipe: my mum galette aux bananes et chocolat. It looks like cookie or scone or and muffin or cake altogether. It isn’t we call this “galette” in French.



The smell of it while it baked reminded me of childhood memories where my mum use to make those on the week end.

- 1 ¼ cup of flour (I use whole wheat)
- ¾ cup of brown sugar (I use brown splenda)
- ½ tea spoon of salt
- 1 tea spoon of baking soda
- ½ cup of shortening
- 1 egg
- 2 mashed banana
- 1 tea spoon of vanilla
- 1 small package of dark chocolate chip



Bake at 375C for 10 to 12 minutes… enjoy!

A fairy taste...

I always loved food. Well, I had a love/hate relationship with food for years but that is another story.

I am trying something new, something blue, something I... digress...

Since I started blogging, I always wanted a blog that would allow me to use my passions... I have a lot of them so I had to chose, can't quite make a Geeky-foodie-photography blog so I decided to use the latter two: food and photos....

For the slower out there, you got it: I am writing a blog that will have pretty food pictures and recipes. Why on earth did I call it fairy taste? Because my mum was like a fairy in the kitchen, coming up with insanely good food while not breaking the bank and slavering hours in front of the oven...
