We are in Paris right now, enjoying a weekend with our eldest son and his best friend. Quality time and so much fun to see the little guys discover this beautiful city. I will tell you all about Paris with the kids soon.
For now I want to share the recipe of the eggplant tarte tatin from my Quiche & Bubbles night. You all know I love the chicory version, but this really is a winner too.

I think I am going to try a version with eggplant and zucchini combined very soon. How about you? What veggies would you like for a tarte tatin?
