Brie & mango chutney

Brie, mango chutney & mixed leaves on homemade wholegrain

Sometimes, the humble sandwich is all you need for a hearty lunch. I love this combination of delicious French brie, scented mango chutney and mixed salad leaves. Sliced and buttered homemade wholegrain bread completes this tasty lunch.

Did you know that a sandwich is technically classed as a snack?

A gloriously sunny day ...

Perfect on this delightfully sunny day!

We find it easier (and are much more inclined), to eat salads and lighter meals when the sun shines. Of course, salads are served all year round at Mon Petit Café, but those warm rays do make a difference! The watermelon in this simple salad whisks us away to far flung places where on melting beaches, men wander up and down the molten sand, selling huge slices of this delicious fruit for refreshment. The mint is a classic accompaniment to the melon and adds a real freshness and zing  to the palate. 

In the afternoon, why not serve fresh mint tea with a slice of lemon or ginger in Moroccan style glasses (allow to cool a little), and sip this delightful and refreshing tisane whilst enjoying this wonderfully balmy weather! 

Today feels like Summer ... so make the most of it!
