Hemp flour pastry with seeds

Trave's brother Longcat, his girlfriend Gudrun and Trave's sister Felinity visited this weekend. We had a great time together. Obviously the main reason for the visit was to smuggle our kitten back to London. Despite this we thought our guests ought to be fed.

We decided to make a quiche, as this is fairly quick and easy and hassle-free when receiving guests. I used the same pastry recipe as for the hemp flour patry quiche, except I added 3 tablespoons of mixed seeds (sunflower, pumpkin, sesame, poppy, millet and crushed hemp seeds).

The filling was made of red & yellow peppers, courgettes, fresh rosemary, dice of mozzarella, and for the cream: 3 eggs, 150ml milk, 120g cheedar (grated), salt and pepper.

As you know I don't have much time for anything at the moment so I did not make a cake (how dare I? Visitors and no cake? This is outrageous, I say!). Instead, Trave bought a cake from the local delicatessen. It was a delicious mocha sponge cake baked by Judith. We will definitely go there again for cakes, they are really nice.

If you really want to know: they failed to kidnap the kitten, but for some reason, she has been sleeping all day today!
