Chocolate and Zucchini
A  popular gourmet once said, "Never trust a skinny chef." So what can the scrawny French foodie behind this site tell the rest of the cooking world? Quite a lot actually. Don't let her petite size fool you, 24-year-old Clotilde is quite the gourmand and proves it with sophisticated yet simple recipes, thoughtful musings, and cross-cultural culinary twists. Perhaps her stint in Silicon Valley prior to returning to France gave her a sense of what makes for a good weblog. All the recipes are neatly laid out and easy to find, the pictures are gorgeous (a must on a recipe site!), and her English is impeccable. Also absent is what some may unfairly expect of a French chef -- snobbery. She's the kind of gal you can imagine rolling up her sleeves, whipping up an amazing meal, and laughing the whole time. So why not take advantage of her serious love affair with food? You'll be cranking out oeuf cocotte and galettes de polenta faster than you can say freedom fries! (in Weblogs) |
