Brownies are a breeze to make, with or without a mixer. You don't need to aerate the batter. Thick and chewy is how it should be. But topping it with thick, creamy, nonfat Greek yogurt is a taste sensation. A little sour, rich-tasting without that nasty greasy after taste, Greek yogurt is perfect when you don't want icing on your cake. Now if I wanted icing, I prefer not buttercream but sweetened whipped cream, what the French call Chantilly cream. Whipped with sugar and a hint of vanilla, it is said to have been created by François Vatel in the 17th century. Maitre d'hotel at the Chateau de Chantilly, he committed suicide when the fish was served late. We don't have that kind of suicidal reverence for food anymore and live to eat more culinary disasters than the poor guy ever dreamt.
