Are you dying to eat chocolate cake? In 10 minutes you can have one!

Today I propose a recipe with zucchini because it’s a seasonal vegetable!

The weekend of the 8^th and 9^th of September was supposed to be the sunniest and hottest. Unfortunately, we all were working at the Maison et Objet trade show and looking for new retailers.

This week everybody is has returned home to start school and work. Holidays are over…

But here at monbento, there’s always something positive going on! We get to see all of our family and friends and who doesn’t like that?

One of the secrets for a nice hiking trip is a hearty picnic. Hikers need lots of energy. Financier cakes are a perfect dessert to share between friends or family. The choice of the hiking trip itself is also quite important.

Here is a quite simple potato salad recipe. The heat of the sun during the past few days is no reason to avoid cooking.

For my second recipe with monbento mold, I made a goat cheese and olive cake.

This was my first attempt with the monbento mold and I managed to make the right amount of pastry.

During warm summer days, I only feel like eating vegetables, salad and cheese. The sun makes me dream about holidays… They’re coming soon, if they’re not already here! This recipe is nice for lunch at work or for a snack while swimming at the pool or the lake.

Today I made a very simple and tasty bento.
