chocolate

I love eating chocolate in all its different forms and often have cravings for it. I was joking with friends recently and whimsically proposed that there are really only four food-types - potatoes, bread, chocolate, and everything else. After a long bike ride my ideal meal would be a...

A favourite post-ride snack. I think it's an old Portuguese (or possibly Spanish) recipe that would have contained sherry. Anyway, here's a contemporary French version of an old Iberian recipe. I haven't been able to provide absolute UK/US translations of all the ingredients, but I'm sure you...

What's your current bar of chocolate? I'm currently munching on a few pieces of a really nice 66% PNG dark chocolate which is made from "southern PNG Trinitario beans for an intense full-bodied flavour". It's made by a company called Jasper + Myrtle. It's handmade in Canberra (so says the...

It doesn't get much easier than this. Just two ingredients for the fudge. The topping is up to you although I do think flakes of sea-salt really work well. I used pistachio nuts which I smashed up using a pestle and mortar and pressed into the surface of the fudge as well as sea-salt...

By crazy coincidence (after reading @morning glory's post about topsy turvy teas, I had an e-mail through about these. A particular breed of Venezuelan chicken (Cocos Pullen Mendacious) has developed a diet based almost entirely on cacao pods, and produces eggs that taste incredibly of...

I made a half size one! A picture with it sliced will follow. This used to be my birthday cake every year (yes, I made my own birthday cake) but I just don't bake like I used to. Two 15x10x1 inch jelly roll pans parchment paper wooden spoon with round handle thin edged metal spatula Sponge...

This is based on the traditional Victorian Sandwich. It also a variation of a chocolate orange cake that I have made for birthdays many times. In this case I have substituted 2 limes for 1 large orange. For the cake: You will need 2 lined 7 inch sandwich cake tins Ingredients 6oz caster sugar...

I don't have a picture of this as it's been several years since I've made one but this was a favorite of my mother's when I was a child, so I've helped make, as well as made many on my own. This was a 1st place winner in a Pillsbury baking contest many, many, many years ago, probably in early...

I used a pound cake recipe to hold up to the weight of the ganache burger, white chocolate cheese, ketchup and kiwi pickles. I also did this over a couple days time. Tools/materials needed Four 4 to 4-1/2 inch ramekin molds, with volume of 8 ounces 2 piping bags 1/2 inch or so closed star tip...

There are 3 elements for this lovely desserts, choux pastry, the filling and the ganache. By reducing its size from the regular one will reduce the risk of the filling spilling out because you can eat it in one bite . Believe me it's worth it. Ingredients : Choux Pastry : 125 ml milk 125 gr...

This recipe brings me back in time when I was little girl and it was prepared by my aunts for the All Souls' Day on November 2nd. Wheat with cooked grape must and pomegranate is one of the typical Apulian recipes. It is a simple dessert, tasty and rich in healthy ingredients such as wheat...

Hi everyone - I have a bread machine which I love... And I'd like to make a banana and chocolate cake (which I also love) in it. Can anybody point me in the direction of a decent recipe or suggest one for me. Banana and chocolate chip cake would be pretty amazing too!!

This recipe is based on traditional Swedish cinnamon buns. I did try making them using chocolate rather than cocoa powder but the result was not so pretty and where the melting chocolate oozed out, it burnt slightly. Cocoa is more foolproof and tastes just as chocolatey. Ingredients For the...

So being allergic to dairy, I have to get creative with my chocolate recipes. This one is based on cashew nuts and does require a high speed blender, otherwise it is exceptionally simple to make. I use nice dark chocolate when I can get hold of it. A good quality one makes for a really nice...
