La Galette des Rois

La veille de Noël (le 24 décembre), Noël (le 25 décembre), la Sainte Sylvestre (le 31 décembre) and le Jour de l'An (le premier janvier) have come and gone!  Now we have l'Epiphanie (le 6 janvier) to look forward to, along with its delicious traditional cake-- la galette des rois!  The cake itself can vary according to region, but what they all have in common is la fève.  There are generally two fèves (figurines) hidden in the cake.  The person to find the fève in his or her slice of galette, receives a paper crown and is king or queen for the day!  Click on the link below to see a chef choose his fèves and prepare his galette des rois!
