"I have long believed that good food, good eating is all about risk. Whether we're talking about unpasteurized Stilton, raw oysters or working for organized crime 'associates,' food, for me, has always been an adventure."--Anthony Bourdain

Personal Notes:
When I first made this in France it was quite a novelty! Even now, every time there is a pot luck meal I am asked to bring "the" carrot cake. For bake sales or our parish Kermesse I am asked to bake not one but several, some people reserving one in advance. All my grandchildren love to make this, and some of the kids in the village have also learned to make it.
