Galette des rois and the hidden fève — France · Cuisine World
In January your class shares a galette des rois, with a small fève hidden inside. Make the best choices at this simulated party.
Your task
Choose the best option at each step.
- In much of France the galette is puff pastry filled with frangipane, an almond cream. The fève is small and hard, so it is a choking risk.
- Simulation: heat, ovens, hot oil and knives are only pretend here. At home, always cook with an adult.
- Allergens: check the label with an adult (gluten, milk, egg, nuts, peanut, shellfish, soy, sesame). We never ask about your allergies.
Score
- Safe kitchen — Adult, clean hands, cool handles: you cooked safely.
- Technique — Right order, right amounts, right timing.
- Food knowledge — You understood why it works — and where it comes from.
Around the world
The galette des rois is eaten around Epiphany, on 6 January. Whoever finds the fève becomes king or queen and wears a paper crown. The fève was once a dried bean; today it is often a small porcelain figure.
