Eating: Goeey Chocolate Cakes on La Tartine Gourmand

There's just so much to love about food blogger Bea, of La Tartine Gourmand. She's a mom.  She's French.  She's traveled the world, writes for the Boston Globe Food section, and comes up with utterly amazing recipes like her Goeey Chocolate Cakes.

I know what you are thinking.  Goeey chocolate cakes have been done before.  True.  But this recipe is a little bit different.  It's tiny in proportion, but there's just so much to love.

First of all, the proportions. The recipe makes only 3 tea cups worth of gooey chocolate cake (or, for the clumsy, 3 sturdy individual ramekins).  Perfect for late night cravings or (hint, hint to my husband) breakfast with coffee on Mother's Day.

I also love that this recipe calls for tahini nut butter and millet flour instead of the usual butter and white flour.

I especially love that she talks about her daughter Lulu enthusiastically signing for "more chocolate".  And I thought I was the only crazy mum who actually fed her toddler chocolate.  (for breakfast, even)  

I blame my mother – a complete chocoholic.  Hmmmm…now that I think of it, she would probably blame her ninety-five year old mother, who has started each morning with a piece of chocolate for as long as I can remember.  And who, by the way, is French.  Voila.  A pattern emerges.

Breakfast at Nana's 

But it's hard to argue with ninety-plus good years, all started with chocolate for breakfast.  Add to the mix tahini nut butter and millet flour?  Well….we're practically talking health food.
