FROM FLORENCE WITH LOVE

The kids are off to Lavendula next Tuesday for a day of all things Italian as part of their lote studies. We have made florentine biscuits to share with the kids from Hepburn primary to get into the swing of things! The kids have made some fantastic masks for their plays to be performed in italian. We have removed the almonds from this recipie, but feel free to replace 100gms of fruit with 100gms of nuts!  As always the kids did a great job and our helpers Cheryl and Ana were most impressed! An extra big thanks to everyone who has helped or offered to help with the cooking, we could not do it without you.  Baci baci baci!!!
