Eggs with tomatoes and courgettes
Melting courgettes with tomatoes and onions into which the eggs are slid carefully, without breaking the yolk, and cooked gently.

Lemon creams
These light and flavoursome lemon creams are "set" by the curdling action of the lemon juice on the heated cream, so no thickening agent is needed. They are served in individual glasses, topped with a layer of fruit coulis (blackcurrant here).December 6th 201747 K3.9 45 min.

No, baking powder is not needed for this recipe (this is the magic of quatre-quarts style cakes).
But you can add some if you want, this will probably make the cake a bit more "light".
