This Classic French Yogurt Cake, or “Gâteau au Yaourt,” is a moist, lightly sweet loaf cake made in one bowl, with pantry staples: yogurt, eggs, sugar, oil and flour. It’s the very first cake most French children learn to bake, and it’s still the one I turn to most when I want something simple, foolproof and delicious.
There’s no mixer required, no fancy technique, and no long ingredient list. You just need a good whisk, one bowl, and about ten minutes of hands-on time before it’s in the oven.

We’re freshly back from our sun-drenched week in the Luberon region: new adventures every day, barely a plan in sight, and honestly… it was bliss. But I’ll admit that by the end, I was missing my kitchen. And with summer nearing its end, I felt this itch to get back and make the most of the season’s bounty before it slipped away.

There are certain dishes that belong completely to one country that it’s hard to imagine them anywhere else. Lasagna is of course one of them. Ask someone to name an Italian dish, and lasagna would make the top three every time.

It feels like day 105 of this endless summer heat here in Brittany, and we’re still firmly committed to our no-cook meals policy. I won’t lie: it’s still testing me.
Five Days in the Luberon, Provence.

I love Provence. Truly, deeply. Marseille especially, with its brash charm on the coast. But somehow, in all my years of going back, I had never set foot in the Lubéron: the inland heart of Provence, the one you already know even if you’ve never been.
