I had a French picnic with my 6th graders, and they baked ham and cheese croissants, nutella croissants, meringues in pale shades of green and pink, cream puffs with crème pâtissière and golden caramel threads, flourless gâteau au chocolat, madeleines, and others brought several fromages, and the best baguettes in NYC, from Amandine in Dumbo, fresh made limonade, cherries.....
No room for dinner, I just had a small cup of organic yogurt!
These kids are amazing chefs! They love to cook and bake!
