Here's the recipe I promised for the courgette cake that I made at my do........ best eaten warm or cold rather than hot.
150 g flour (5 oz) 200 g bacon bits (7 oz) 400 g grated skinned courgette (14 oz) (No, don't skin, no need!!!) 1 sliced onion 3 eggs 2 tablespoons of oil 2 or 3 tablespoons of milk 100 g grated cheese (4 oz) (Cheddar, Gruyere or even goat cheese)
Fry the bacon in a little oil. Once they are well fried, dry them on some kitchen paper towel. Then fry the onion until golden brown. Leave to cool.
Put the flour in a large bowl with a pinch of salt and a pinch of pepper.
Make a well in the middle and put the oil and the eggs in. Mix slowly until you obtain a smooth mixture. Add the milk and mix again. Add the grated courgette gradually while you keep on mixing. Finally add the bacon, the onion followed by the cheese.
Grease a round cake tin, pour in the cake mixture and put in a hot oven. Temperature: 180 °C, 350 °F. Cook for 1 hour.
Once the cake is cooked, turn it out on a dish. It is ready to serve hot or warm accompanied with a salad.

Can't you get a mini oven? Have a look on freecycle or Leboncoin www.leboncoin.fr/ - you never know, someone may be giving one away or selling v. cheap somewhere.

Probably, possibly, but I have never cooked a cake in one so wouldn't know about timings - might be worth trying with a minicule amount first to see if it works.

Get one of those microwaves that has a proper oven in it.
Sounds gorgeous Mad Moorhen - not just a coot ass then

Thanks for the recipe. I will wait til my courgettes are ripe! It will take a few weeks though.
Thank you for last Thursday. It was nice to meet you all.
Sorry i couldn't stay longer - I had guests waiting for me for dinner! I can't believe I missed the lovely puddings!
See you again in July at Ali's?!
