Yogurt Panna Cotta with Pears and Hazelnuts Recipe
​Days are getting longer, blooms are starting to appear more and more on trees and I can hear a lot of birds singing from early in the morning to late at night. Spring time is finally here and it feels nice not having to put on so many layers every time I want to go outside. 
The other nice thing about the weather changing is that more and more fruit and vegetables are becoming available. The Winter options can be a bit limited but there is still some fruit I want to enjoy until it is out of season: pears.

Sunset in Nantes, France
Bonjour and happy Saturday!
This week was a little shorter than usual but it was not any less busy. However, I was fully rested from the long weekend where I had given myself permission to relax for the whole three days (I usually fit in a bit of photography and writing work at weekends). 
As usual, here are a few things I collected recently to share with you this Saturday:

Visiting France: a few days in Nantes

Nantes City Guide
If you have been reading Crème de Citron for a while now, you probably already know that Nantes is one of my favourite cities to visit and has been mentioned a few times in various travel blog posts. And if you happen to follow me on Instagram, you also already know I spent two weeks in France last month, most of it in this beautiful city.

Because I lived in Nantes for 5 years as a student but also because I spent a lot of my school holidays with my cousins there as a young girl, I am very familiar with my surroundings, the streets and the various landmarks there. 
However, now that I live abroad and do not get to see it evolving on a daily basis, I am constantly amazed by all the changes the city encounters.

Apricot and hazelnut granola

Apricot and Hazelnut Granola Recipe
​Breakfast is and has always been part of my everyday routine. I might swap it for brunch occasionally at the weekend but other than that, I just cannot skip it.
The thing with breakfast and me is that I cannot stick to the same things to eat day after day. For example: two pieces of toast with butter and jam, a fruit and a mug of green tea. That sounds great and perfect to start the day, and honestly it would be so easy to have this everyday. I like eating this type of breakfast, I really do. But after a couple of weeks, breakfast food boredom starts to set and I need to find something else to eat. 
I usually swap the pieces of toast for slices of brioche or toasted challah bread, and green tea for a mint infusion. Another time, I like to move on to porridge and a mug of lemon and ginger infusion. And on occasions, I make myself a bowl of Greek yogurt topped with granola and drizzled with Irish honey (we get ours directly from E.’s family, it is so delicious!). Since I am in a granola phase at the moment, I thought I would try and make my own so I get to choose what flavours go in it.

Along the Erdre River in Nantes
Bonjour and happy Saturday!
Did you eat delicious pancakes/crepes last Tuesday? I surely did and had even made a batch last weekend to , ahem, test that the recipe was still good (yes, this is a lame excuse for 'I just wanted to eat a whole lot of crepes').
This weekend should be full of recipe testing (things I really look forward to sharing here with you dear readers), catching up with lovely friends and some welcome relaxing time with a good book and maybe a few episodes of Derry Girls.
Here are a few things I have been collecting lately to share with you:

Visiting Catalonia: a winter weekend in Barcelona

Barcelona City Guide - Turron at La Campana
​Last December, we started the winter season with a long weekend in Barcelona. I am aware this is already three whole months later but a little throwback is good now and then, especially if this means sharing different ideas of places to visit and where to eat from our last time there.
Since E. was attending a music festival with some of our friends just outside the city, I took the occasion to go and spend a long weekend with my brother who lives there.
