Franco File Friday: Kerrin Rousset of MyKugelhopf

Kerrin Rousset, writer behind the wildly popular blog MyKugelhopf, has been following her sweet tooth around the world, from Alaska to Zambia, for over 15 years. Originally from New York and now at home in Switzerland (with her French husband and their little girl), she founded Sweet Zürich tours, sharing her infectious love of Zürich and sweets, as well as her breadth of chocolate knowledge.
