so well-deserved (and I am glad my votes helped!). -jerusha
Posted by jerusha on January 4, 2005 9:08 PMOh Clotilde...how happy I am for you..thrilled and tickled pink! Both awards are for all that amazing effort you put into your blog ~ chocolateandzucchini reflects, for me, your sun-dappled spirit. It is a treat, a daily dose of delight, for me each and every day to open c'nz. Merci! My sister-in-law and I will raise our glasses tonight...we dine at an Italian restaurant in Leichhardt (if ever you reach Sydney, Leichhardt and surrounds will certainly be worth a visit)..again, congrats! fun news so early in the morn...7.14am here..:-))))
Posted by Joan on January 4, 2005 9:15 PMCongratulations! I had no doubts in my mind!
Posted by erin on January 4, 2005 9:22 PMcongrats, clotilde! you deserve it :)
Posted by serena on January 4, 2005 9:25 PMMazel tov, Clotilde! As the others said, it's no surprise and well deserved.
Posted by debbie on January 4, 2005 10:08 PMCongratulations Clotilde. Enjoy your day and I'm sure you will celebrate well into the evening with your Parisian friends. Your world friends will celebrate your success in our own ways. For me, it will be to forward C&Z to foodie friends I have not yet sent it to.
Posted by Barbara on January 4, 2005 10:18 PMCongratulations, Clotilde! My wife and I absolutely adore CNZ and read it religiously for your writing and recipes! We never had a doubt in our minds that the rest of the foodie community would agree!
Posted by alan on January 4, 2005 10:24 PMAs I said over at Kate's site: felicitations, Clotilde! I speak not only for myself but also for many others when I say that C&Z has been a huge inspiration...
Posted by Molly on January 4, 2005 10:35 PMWell done Ms Clotilde! When making my decision for this category I suddenly realised you were the only food blog from which I'd actually used a recipe (so far), so of course that influenced my decision.A very successful recipe it was too. If I wasn't being so frugal, post Christmas, I'd have half a mind to bake another batch of Gâteau Fondant au Chocolat et Noisettes Caramélisées right now! May I ask you a question? Are all your recipes original? I feel I ought only publish original recipes on my site. I include links or references if I use other peoples'. I was justwondering how other bloggers handle this question/copyright issue.
Posted by sam on January 4, 2005 11:00 PMhappy 2005!
Bravo Clotilde. You really deserve it. What's next ...
Posted by Pascale on January 4, 2005 11:04 PMmhmm....

Posted by Kate on January 4, 2005 11:08 PMand congrats :)
kate
but ofcourse!!!
Posted by swan on January 4, 2005 11:16 PMAll - Many thanks for your warm congratulations!
Sam - The great majority of recipes on C&Z are personal creations, and I always give credit when credit is due -- for example in the recipe you mention (so glad you liked it!) I explain that the chocolate cake base is adapted from a Cook's Illustrated recipe, and I list my modifications. Of course, the line is always fuzzy for recipes and ownership, but I let common sense and honesty be my guides!
Posted by clotilde on January 4, 2005 11:20 PMfelicitations....I am not surprized, of course, all of us really appreciate your hard work & wonderful sense of "foodness"...cheers
Posted by melinda on January 5, 2005 12:32 AMClotilde, you've always been a winner in my heart. Congrats on your double win!
Posted by Adam on January 5, 2005 12:48 AMthank you Clotilde, for the explanation. You sound like a girl after my own heart! Since I realised that I am actually capable of inventing and publishing my own recipes, the food blogging has got a little more edgy and exctiting for me. Having a platform off of which to showcase personal creativity is exciting and I am grateful for this medium we all make use of and enjoy so much, especially the fantastic community apsect of it all.
Posted by sam on January 5, 2005 1:22 AMAt least one vote came from Memphis, even if you don't have much barbecue on the blog! :D
Posted by Abby on January 5, 2005 1:41 AMCongratulations, Clotilde! I am so happy about your wins. They are most well-deserved. You had my votes all the way.
Posted by Ann/brighidsdaughter on January 5, 2005 2:26 AMCongratulation on your double win, Clotilde and a Happy 2005!
Posted by Mik on January 5, 2005 2:32 AMHate to repeat everyone else, but you absolutely deserved these awards.

Posted by Elisabeth on January 7, 2005 4:00 AMClotilde, am I mistaken or do you actually have THREE wins? Seems to me there is also an award for "design" out there...!
