chocolate & zucchini

Don't you love getting gifts in the mail? Yesterday this cookbook arrived from my awesome cousin Camille who lives in LA. We share an affinity for food and fashion, and Chocolate and Zucchini is a blog we both read. The woman who writes it leads what appears to be the perfect life. She lives in Paris, has cute "French girl" hair, and enjoys success as a published author. All at the age of 27. I hate her.



Just kidding, Clotilde! I love you and your recipes. Especially this yogurt cake that I tried out today. The recipe was dead simple -- I just cut the finished cake into two layers and added raspberry jam. Delicious. Even as I write, Ben is eating the piece pictured below. [Please note: no butter jesus was harmed in the making of this cake.]



Camille herself is starting up a new site. Wallflour is devoted to yummy food and chilled-out entertaining. Her writing is funny, sarcastic, and very smart. And her dog Guinness may be the most adorable canine on the planet. jm
