C & Z-----The BOOK

I made the C&Z Cake to take to friends yesterday, together with a copy of the book as a housewarming gift. What a great success, both the cake and the gift.

So my book has its first bit of cake goop, and bits of flour & cocoa between the pages.

I bought the C&Z cookbook a couple of weeks ago after finding it at my local bookstore. Until then I had never heard of Chocolate & Zucchini or Clotilde, but I bought it because I have always been a big fan of French cooking. I must say, I am hooked! I have already made the Mustard Chicken Stew, Sea Bass and Asparagus Papilottes, Yogurt Cake, the cheese and mushroom tartine, the Curried Turkey sandwich, and the Chicken, Peach, and Hazelnut salad - all with complete success. I look forward to trying all of the recipes, and I am so happy to find new recipes on this site.

Sorry folks , malicious is malicieux and malicieux is malicious. But I'm sure all of you meant delicious, which of course is delicieux, and delicieux is delicious , like in malicious and malicieux, etc etc etc.... It's a professional deformation with me, an ex-translator...but I still went to the Harap's french-english/anglais-francais dictionnaire to check ...

No more war,
no more "malicious/malicieux" , more "delicious/delicieux"

Dear daily reader, nobody doubts your positive intentions , it's the exact translation and real meaning of the world I was talking about.

No more war, more good intentions Laughing

Simona--as long as we're discussing words and their meanings--
what is "professional deformation" ? Confused

Hello Gingerpale: a "professional deformation" is when somebody sees something through his/hers professional eyes: e.g. having been trained as a professional translator, I'm more sensitive to the meaning/translation of words, than ,for example to anything concerning gardening. That means that' I'll never comment on gardening , of which I know nothing about, but I'll do that if it's on a subject I studied. Running to a dictionnary everytime I stumble on a world I'm not 100% sure of it's meaning or spelling is another "professional obsession".
I do believe words have a meaning, and our choice of words is part of who and what we are , of what we think, -given a litlle allowance to "unhappy" wording choices which can happen to every each and one of us.
On this forum, for example, I believe one side "of our real us" is revealed through what/how we write .
As Griffin rightly pointed out: manipulating words is the politicians "professional deformation". One had just to learn to decode them.
I hope this answers somehow your question,

No more war, let's talk with words, not with guns
