Seems pertinent given the current challenge. Lab grown chocolate?! Would you eat it? I tried lab-grown chocolate. Could it be the future of Halloween?

Dark chocolate has a fruity note which works well with slightly gamey venison. Pickled blackberries add a sweet and sour edge. I added some very lightly fried mushrooms for a an earthy note. Venison is best cooked rare but obviously you could cook a little longer if you wish. Ingredients...

The grated chocolate in the marinade produces a lovely char on the chicken. With the addition of wine, the marinade is then used to make a luxurious sauce. All the flavours here merge together in a subtle way - you won’t taste soy sauce, sesame oil, or chocolate individually, but instead a...

This is a pretty easy recipe to make. It helps if you have a nice tahini you like. It's just as important to have a decent chocolate you like and finally, it's handy if you like the coconut cream as well. I used dairy free dark chocolate, so these are vegan. You can add flavouring but I'd...

Most around here eat cake or pie for dessert and I don't indulge in sweets much so dessert is a rare thing. Occasionally though I'll have a Butterfinger bar. I found this recipe that is pretty close. They're not as crispy crunchy as the real deal but the flavor is almost spot on. I just...

That's an age ole question, What's For Dessert? I looked high and low for a thread that was just about what you ate for dessert (not necessarily what you made though, there's other threads here for that), and couldn't find just a general "this-is-what-I-had", so... This is for DH, I don't...
