Drove by this eye-catching installation in Silverlake on the way to a barbecue.
I had to stop and admire this clever and delightful design, repurposing wine and water bottles:
Really like the harmonious choice of blue and green glass and the graceful curves of the bottles when they're stacked together.
I love smaller sized cupcakes and these organic carrot bites are even more tempting baked in colorful Parisian paper pleats --Bleu, Blanc, Rouge, of course!
It took several batches to perfect this recipe: not too sweet and very lush and light. Toasted almonds add a delicate crunch and a zing of fresh lemon zest make for a VERY addictive frosting. I'll post the recipe on my website tomorrow.
Meanwhile, come by and sample these treats all day...with bubbly and other French goodies.
A bientot!
What to do with the leftover loaf after the dinner party? One solution is this:
Slice it nice and thin,
Place on a baking sheet,
Stir some cumin into a little bit of olive oil with a dash of salt,
Lightly brush the slices with the cumin oil,
Bake at 350 for 8-12 minutes, until golden.
And voila! The best tasting crackers for crostini or cheese at your fingertips.
Or, you if you have a little extra time on your hands, you can also make an Haute Couture outfit:
This was a one in a series of outfits photographed by Ted Sabarese, collaborating with designer, Ami Goodheart of SOTU Productions for a project called "Hunger Pains", based on the models food cravings.

And by the way, this pre-dated Lady Gaga.
