chocolate

heard this was good, so the wife bought some yesterday, dessert last night was loaf and hot custard and ice cream. Everyone loved it. While on the subject of desserts I see mg, posted on another thread a neenish tart. We also have them here. My friend from Sydney always gets one every day when...

This cake is a traditional specialty from Molise, the second smallest Italian region after the Valle D’ Aosta. Located in between the more famous Puglia and Abruzzo, in the southeast of Italy, albeit influenced by the bordering regions, Molise’s culinary tradition is full of surprising...

a cake made with red wine, evoo and chocolate

First of all, there are 3 separate 'recipes' here . One for the dough for the actual eclairs, then there is the filling which is optional, you could opt for dairy free yoghurt or dairy free ice cream and finally there is the (optional , hey who are we kidding here ?) dairy free chocolate icing...

Hi ladies, Some of you may share a similar problem - I'm quite a big chocolate fan (and should reduce my consumption overall) but my point here is that I struggle to control my consumption of chocolate and sweet stuff (although mostly chocolate) when I'm about to get my period. My...

Orange and dark chocolate is a classic combination that I never get bored of. For these Five-Layered Chocolate Cups I wanted to go one step further than just sprinkling some orange peel on top of the chocolate. The result is a creamy, refreshing dessert. Serves: 4 | Preparation time: 20 mins...

Muffins are always a good idea, be it for a sweet breakfast or as snack during afternoon teatime. Whit this recipe and a knob of vanilla ice cream, I've found out that they work well for a delicious dessert as well Makes 6 muffins | Preparation time: 10 mins | Cooking time: 20 mins Cane...

For a couple of years we hung chocolates on our Christmas tree because my very young nephew came here on Christmas day and it seemed like the right thing to do. He hasn't been here for a couple of years so we no longer bother. Does anyone on here hang chocolates on their tree?

Hi everyone, I´m currently doing a study for my University course about nut and chocolate spreads. I´m still looking for respondents to my survey. It will only take 5 min and I would greatly appreciate all your expert opinion and thoughts. Thank you so much!! Simone...

Hi Everyone, I thought I would share with you, my first cheese cake. Once again, I had a little help from my mother (I really need to grow up!). It was such a simple recipe but I was really pleased with the result and can't wait to show it to my friends at our dinner party tonight! Ingredients...

My last belated blast for The CookingBites Cookalong: Soufflés and Fondants. This is a tried and tested recipe. Perfect for dinner parties as you make them ahead of time and store in the fridge. Then all you need to do is pop them in the oven for 12mins, turn out and serve. I’ve made this...

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...
