On a damp February evening I stopped by my neighborhood library to bring back a late movie. Exhausted, cold and in no mood to browse, I approached the counter to make my return. Alone on that counter sat a large and beautiful, possibly life-changing book: Chocolate Cake, 150 Recipes from the Simple to the Sublime by Michelle Urvater.
"150 chocolate cakes," I marvelled.
"Please, take it," responded our librarian. "The shelf where it goes is full, and we really have no place for it."
How could I not?
What's more fun than chocolate cake, and who needed fun more than I, here almost at the end of a particularly dark winter? I checked out the book, took it home and began to plan.
