les petits gateaux de Marie de Chèvre- little goat’s cheese cakes
little goats cheesecakes There is something about these little cheese cakes, tangy with fresh goats cheese- les faiselles- softer than cream cheese, rich but not too. I make them with eggs from the little black hens here at Camont so they are stained deep saffron yellow and taste beyond delicious.

Tourteau Fromage de Chevre- a goat cheese treat!
Goats. Cheese. Cake. Our day started on Goats, moved into Cheese- chèvre, of course, and then finished on Cake. Goat’s Cheese Cake.
