French Food Friday - Petit Gateaux aux Graines de Sesames
I purchased a new mold this week with Valentines day in mind and I am hoping to put it to use plan this weekend.
For Valentine's day this year I am planning a special meal at home and since we are unable to travel to Marrakech at present, I will be creating a night in Marrakech chez nous.
We both adore Moroccan food so it should be a fun night.
This recipe and photo caught my eye as it goes with my theme and it will remind French boyfriend of the mornings we used to hop on our bikes and cycle to our local patisserie to buy freshly baked bread and those gorgeous mini sized cakes the Moroccans are famous for.
