And if you ever get a chance to walk part of the St. James pilgramage route, I am sure you will be quite amazed by its wonders.Andrea_TheKitchenLionesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05188562947486964076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5171858975021092818.post-14135156231541509612013-04-28T15:05:36.263+02:002013-04-28T15:05:36.263+02:00Throughout this Post I keep thinking what an educa...Throughout this Post I keep thinking what an education you are providing for your children through your cooking/baking and your Blog. Every ingredient (and, the result) has a facinating story and I am quite sure that you share this at the table. I have learned so much from your Posts and look forward to your history/travel/etc lesson as much as I do seeing what you've created. I have always wanted to walk the pilgramage route but have not yet been there. Thanks for bringing me a little closer to reality with this Post, Andrea.

We loved it. It is almondy and sweet and moist and just what you would want with that afternoon coffee or tea - and it has such a lovely historical background. Gotta love food with a story!Andrea_TheKitchenLionesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05188562947486964076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5171858975021092818.post-57417837212569966552013-04-22T14:03:14.806+02:002013-04-22T14:03:14.806+02:00Such a simple and delicious pie Andrea!
