Our small savoury recipes
Homemade fish fingers for a seaside holiday atmosphere
Getting children to eat fish is not always easy. To alleviate this little problem, we have prepared a simple and effective recipe: breaded fish. Fun to prepare, delicious in the mouth and adored by toddlers, this iodized dish promises a healthy and tasty meal.

What to serve it with? To add a bit of flavour, you can garnish this dish with a dash of lemon, as well as a crème fraîche and chives sauce (to be seasoned with salt and pepper). Serve with steamed potatoes or wholemeal rice and a few leaves of salad.
Courgettes stuffed with tuna for a trip to Provence
Rich in water, minerals and oligo-elements, courgettes are the basis of a healthy and varied diet. They come in a multitude of possible culinary combinations, from gratin to spaghetti and ratatouille. For a bit of fantasy, make this gourmet recipe of courgettes stuffed with tuna. For meat lovers, fish can easily be replaced by small bacon, while vegetarians will opt for a pepper-aubergine combo.

Italian skewers to accompany the 1st spring barbecue
Spring is finally here; the sun proudly struts in a blue sky… and the luckiest ones take advantage of their garden or terrace to sit around the first barbecue of the year. While Mum and Dad take care of the grill, the children set the table and get busy preparing fresh and colourful side dishes. On the menu: beautiful Italian skewers.
How long does it take to prepare them? That depends on how fast and efficient your brigade is! 5 minutes, a quarter of an hour… the most important thing is to prepare them with love.

Gourmandes et complètes, les barres de céréales sont des petits biscuits croquants que l’on emporte facilement avec soi ! Ornées de pépites de chocolat, de noisettes, de fruits rouges, elles se parent des aliments les plus savoureux pour séduire tous les palais.
How long does it take to prepare them? The cereal bar recipe is very quick to make: a quarter of an hour of preparation and about twenty minutes of cooking time! The longest will be to wait for the bars to cool down (about 1 hour in the fridge) before you can devour them…
Is it easy to make these cereal bars? Yes, if you do a good teamwork!
What to serve them with? You can eat them on their own, as a snack or with a small glass of milk or grenadine.
Red berries popsicles for instant refreshment
Sunny days are finally here and the children only dream of one thing… to eat a good ice cream while having fun in the garden! Often too sweet and sweetened, those available in supermarkets do not make parents happy. Therefore, in order to remedy this and make everyone happy, we offer you a fruity and tasty recipe to share.
How long does it take to prepare them? About twenty minutes, that’s all!
Is it easy to prepare popsicle sticks? Simpler than you might think, the preparation of red fruit popsicles is the pride of our little Chefs. Make sure you have the right moulds and sticks.
