Multigrains cake with beetroot and orange

Version française ...

It seems that I'm fed up with beetroot and its friends, aka winter vegetables. So sad :-( until next autumn.

I just feel like eating green and fresh meals these sunny days. So when I found this lonely beetroot in the bottom of my fridge, I remembered a recipe of beetroot and carrot bread in the excellent book of Molly Brown, grains, seeds and legumes.

This recipe is in the bread and crackers chapter. I don't understand why, since it really looks and tastes like a cake. But with all the changes I did, it may really be a bread at the beginning ...

The cake is delicious anyway : moist thanks to the beetroot puree, full of grains (I love that !), full of orange and spices flavors, it also has a beautiful pink color. Perfect for tea time, breakfast or snack ...

Chocolate, hazelnut and zucchini mousse

Version française ...

It's summer time when :

a. your garden is full of beautiful tiny zucchini.

b. your neighbour/cousin/father-in-law gives you full baskets of zucchini twice a week.

c. you go to a farm to pick up fruits and vegetables and you can't stop picking up. You have too much zucchini.

d. your family is tired of eating zucchini gratin.

Whatever is your answer, we've never enough recipes with zucchini, right ? I made this mousse for a all-zucchini meal, it is light, tasty, and I promise nobody will figure out your secret ingredient !
