A Charcoal Black Cake and Moules au Vin Blanc

Plus an Upside Down Apple and Fig Yogurt Cake (with a new arrival!).

• Moules au Vin Blanc - Lately we are really loving Andrew Scrivani's personal blog; he does most of the photography for the New York Times' food section, and it's fun to see another side of his work. At Making Sunday Sauce.

• Bamboo Charcoal Swiss Roll - Wow! A black cake! Have you ever had something with bamboo charcoal? At Køkken69.

• Trinity Bowls/Candleholder - At Design House Stockholm. Lovely and multi-functional.

• Nana's Upside Down Apple and Fig Yogurt Cake - At 64 sq ft kitchen. And congratulations to long-time reader Warda and her new little one!
