Olive Oil cake with honey and pine nuts

Those who have tasted my cooking creations know that all my cooking and baking are from scratch.
This is the way we do it in France. We do not use “mixture” from a box adding only water. No, we use real Free Range eggs, real organic flour, whole creamy milk…we cook from A to Z.
At almost 3, my kids know how to bake a cake, they know how to mix eggs with flour.
Most of French food is GMO free. Because items are well labeled, and actually this is the law. You know if you food contains GMO or not. In the U.S.A, this is not mandatory. Only Organic food is GMO free.

My endless search for healthy, natural cooking leaded me to Organic Olive Oil Cooking.
