Summer Fruit & Yogurt Whole Wheat Traybake

I haven’t been writing so frequently, I don’t know why. It started last month when I got tied up with some other priorities. But that busyness is over now and I haven’t been able to catch up with my love of food photography, styling and writing.

Strawberry & Almond Friands

So we wanted to go out and spend the entire day on weekend in a farm or some park or even near a river, if possible. Because it is spring officially for us. Winters are long gone and it’s definitely the time to step out. Sun is rising and shining with cool breeze flowing through the ears. Such immense pleasure to soak up all that positivity which this bright and sunny weather brings along with it! I had been waiting for this weather eagerly and lots of ideas were playing on my mind since then. I wanted to make lots of picnic food and bake those lovely fruity summer berry cakes. But rarely the things go the way you would have thought them to happen! It wasn’t different anyway this time too. Friends had plans of their own for almost during the entire Spring season. And I couldn’t wait. So, I baked these lovely strawberry & almond friands, bottled some fresh milk, tucked in some seasonal juicy berries, a bottle of jam, a flask of tea and few books to read and of course a dear friend to share this joy with me. Though we couldn’t find a river but we got ourselves this beautiful airy and sunny solace in the middle of a farm nearby, where we soaked in the beauty of greener fields. It was a dream which we lived through our entire day in that farm, munching on to these yummy berry cakes, reading books, and soaking up sun.
