Pear Pastilla on NPR and a Mention in ELLE

I am just back from my delicious vacation, and while I organize my notes to tell you all about the wonderful food we had in the south-west of France, let me direct you to my newest piece on NPR: crunchy and warm pear tartlets, a fall dessert inspired by the Moroccan pastilla.

On another note, C&Z is featured in this week's French edition of ELLE magazine, in an article about blogs culinaires. Just one year after the first mention, this one is more detailed (and flattering) -- a lovely gift to come home to!

And if you don't read French, here's an English version of my own personal little blurb (I blush just translating it):

"The celebrity: Clotilde, author of Chocolate & Zucchini (in English). With ten thousand daily visitors, Clotilde Dusoulier is a reference in the world of food blogs. A lover of fresh produce, but also chocolate in all shapes and forms, she has named her journal "Chocolat et Courgettes". This 26-year-old Montmartroise created her blog in September of 2003, and online fans have been bustling in since then. Her fame is such that she is often contacted by American media, who love this "so parisian" girl, earning her new visitors from the other side of the Atlantic. She has developed a faithful following of daily readers, attracted by her writing and her photography."

(Many thanks to Camille for the article, and to Karym for the photography!)
