Zooey Deschanel (Yes Man, (500) Days of Summer) loves cooking. «I don’t really like sweets that much, but I find it really satisfying to bake for other people—cupcakes and cookies and cakes». And about pesto, she told to Health mag: «Pesto’s one of those things you can experiment with, and one day I was like, What if I used hemp seeds instead of pine nuts because they’re more nutritious? I’ve made it for a lot of dinner parties. It was a hit!».

Zooey has a secret recipe even for cupacakes: « It’s called “crazy cake,” because no eggs are needed—you use the protein in the flour to basically bind the cupcakes. It just has cocoa powder, baking soda, flour, a little bit of oil, and apple cider vinegar. There’s a version in the book The Joy of Vegan Baking. They’re always a hit!».
