Happy Epiphany ππππΌ
This Christian festive which is commemorating the arrival of the Three Kings to the manger where Jesus was born, has inspired a gastronomic custom in France since the Middle.
The French have been serving up "Galette des Rois"( cake of the Kings) since the 14th-century.
Traditionally, itβs served on January 6th β the 12th day of Christmas and it can be eaten throughout the month of January as a festive way to celebrate the new year with family and friends, regardless of religious background.
Youβll typically find two basic styles of Galettedes Rois: In northern France, itβs made of pΓ’te feuilletΓ©, puff pastry, and stuffed with a dense, creamy almond paste called frangipane.
In the south of France, youβll be eating a brioche-style cake covered with candied fruit. Other variations can be found as well, from shortbread-style, popular in Western France, to those that have alternate fillings, such as chocolat-poire (chocolate-pear) or raspberry.
