Angel cake

One of my favorite cake is the angel cake. Last week I tried the delicious one at Ciel patisserie in Paris, very sophisticated and very good, especially the matcha one. And the Sakura, just made for few days for hanami.

But at home I just made a regular one, with a drop of vanilla, rice flour, and rice milk (totally gluten free). 

And I had it with a spoon of cream and apple marmalade. It was a success, everyone liked it. 

Who are the Tokyo-Paris sisters?

We are two real sisters Prunellia, the eldest and Gentiane (me!).

We're both French and we were raised in the South of France at the foot of Paul Cezanne most famous mountain: the Sainte Victoire. We both like interior design, cooking and fooding and beautiful things,

Prunellia is an architect-interior designer-web designer based in Paris. She has been interested in Japanese architecture and Japanese culture for more than 25 years now and visiting Japan quite often since the early 1990's. 

Gentiane is a roboticist in Tokyo. Being much younger she has been introduced to Japan as a teenager when Prunellia was meeting Japanese students studying in Aix. (I really enjoyed our parties with our Japanese friends Shotaro, Tomoko, Kotomi etc...)

Though being completely different we do share a lot, probably from our upbringings. That's how the idea of a journal four-hand started.

Japanese room in Paris

I love Japan, and each time I go there I try to bring back few objects to recreate my own Japan in Paris. For example, for the bedroom, I found tatami used as a carpet in front of the bed, a wallpaper with sakura flowers, old obi found at the flea market in Kyoto then used to make cushion and curtains, and for my small "cabinet de curiosité": geta, peak hair with flowers like the Maiko have... And of course Daruma and Maneki Neko.

And this room style has been choosen by Homify, french blog on decoration.
