Hi! I’m Mili (“Mil‑lee”), the author behind the Glorified Hobby food and recipe journal. Here I share personal recipes passed down from my Italian mom, dishes I’ve thoughtfully developed for the love of good food at home, and for my dessert catering business.
I’m so happy you’re here to make and bake with me!

My all-time favorite chocolate cake is made with zucchini. It sounds crazy, but this is my truth! I’m happy to share my beloved Chocolate Zucchini Cake recipe with you, and offer details to make it the old fashioned way, and with ingredient switch-outs for vegan and/or gluten free.
