Jules . . . It’s always made me so happy that the kids look forward to cooking with Auntie Lia. It sounds like we are well on our way seriously to making ‘kitchen makers’ out of them all. Although that garbage man and his truck does give me a serious run for the money in terms of entertainment-value.

Lia, love the picture of Noe! Just want to gobble her up (as well as those carrots!). Certainly fresh carrots, figs, and rasperries are the ideal, however, I’ll just share that you have been such an inspiration to my kids (and our family)when it comes to simply encouraging kids to cook/bake and just be in the kitchen! In fact, just this afternoon we brought out the “Cool Kids Cook” book by Donna Hay, and the 3 kids made chocolate fudge almost by themselves! It was very cute to see them reading the recipe and figuring out which measuring cups to use. Thanks for inspiring kids to enjoy time together in the kitchen!

Isn’t she precious? And I second you on the carrots . . . I, too, would love a few more to grow ;-). Although we did find a stray straggler the other day, which Noemi proceeded to gobble down before I could even give it a proper rinse-off with the hose.

Anne-Liesse . . . We’ll just have to get on that Drome fig tree, eh? So wonderful that Antoine nibbles on raspberries with his grandma–I used to do the same and I remember what an adventure it was to find them. I miss raspberries here; we tend towards blackberries here in the West. Not that I’m complaining . . . I’m very content with blackberries and figs.

Antoine eats raspberries in his granparents’ yard, right from the shrub, and he’s crazy about them ! Unluckily, your fig tree down in the Drôme doesn’t give any fruit.

I fully agree with you on engaging kids with food and was thrilled when I heard about the Obamas’veggie garden. Wish I could have one here in Lyon, too !

Lia – I have very happy memories of a fig tree in my aunt’s yard in Redding in the summer where the temps reach 114 at times. The shade, the sweet warm figs, my cousins. And the carrots look wonderful – I have a similar recipe but I’ll certainly try yours too. steph
