Author Notes
I am an avid reader of culinary blogs, especially when it comes to healthy food and organic. Among these blogs, I love Green Kitchen Story. You may already know this couple. They keep the blog together and published (or suggest?) An application on the Appstore. I wanted to revisit (but mostly French adapt) one of their recipes in my own way, their Blueberry, Lemon and Almond cake. When I think adapt, it is mainly replace the almond flour (which costs a fortune) with almond powder and chestnut flour that are much less expensive. I also decided not to make glazing that I generally find too sweet. —Mary Devinat
