Do you read French? Are you a student of the language? If so, this one’s for you!
Chocolate & Zucchini : Le Livre is the e-book edition of my very first cookbook, translated into French by yours truly.
The French edition was first published by Hachette, but it had been out of print for a while. That always made my heart sink: it’s a book into which I’ve poured all of my soul, and many of my cult recipes, the kind you make again and again, and pass on to your sister and your friends, who later tell you, “You know, that mustard chicken of yours? I make it ALL THE TIME!”
This is why I decided to bring it back to life as an e-book — after a thorough re-reading and re-formatting effort — and I am now offering it for 8€ ($9), for immediate download on Amazon or the secure platform e-junkie.

What the press has said about the book
