OK so I realise it seems intuitive to just bake a cheese but I've got to admit I've always been slightly intimidated by the idea of baking a cheese. How long is too long and how much at risk of ...

I like to go to places that are unexpected places to go to for wine. As an Ontario girl, I have not yet visited BC wines but I was lucky enough to try a large number of them at an ...
Lunch started out wonderfully, especially I wasn't expecting it. I had shown up to review desserts and I got a chance to experience an absolutely wonderful lunch at America unexpectedly. As I am just learning about wine, I took the opportunity ...

At the @aldiuk Easter goodies preview I saw and tasted some amazing chocolate.
🍫
Some of my favourites were this amazing birdcage chocolate with an #Easteregg inside it with chocolate eggs inside the Easter egg. It was tasty and beautiful and at only £14.99 for 750g of chocolate in such an amazing stunning, handmade piece, it was worth it!
🍫
The other egg is actually a single origin cocoa pod from Peruvian chocolate in the #moserroth range. It is new and at £4.99 for 150g I thought it was the best tasting #chocolateegg of the day. You can really taste the difference in the chocolate.
🍫
Also on show were a stunning #rubychocolate hollow diamond surrounded by chocolate gemstones, a beautiful #moserrothchocolate egg and a really fun and innovative hollow chocolate hot cross bun with candied fruit!
🍫
I do think the most popular will be the stunning flavour filled egg chocolates. I tried a maple caramel and knew what I was buying myself!
🍫
What are you buying yourself this Easter?

Brand new from @valrhonauk comes this amazing chocolate from Belize with a fun name. 🍫
Tulakalum means “together” in Mayan dialect, and it was only thanks to collaborative efforts between @valrhonafrance ’s partner-producer Maya Mountain and their sourcing team that they were able to relaunch this exceptionally rare Belizean cocoa variety. So it was a real coming together of effort that resulted in this rare cocoa blend.
🍫
At first, the sharp tartness blends with the sweetness of the spices. Bitter, with only a hint of sweetness, Tulakalum surprises with sumptuous ripe fruit notes. I enjoyed the surprising flavour notes and the long evolution in my mouth. I’m sure everyone will have a different experience and it will suit so many different desserts. Forget just making a chocolate - make patisserie and get super creative.
🍫
Valrhona flavour experts got to work so that we could enjoy this chocolate just as nature intended it. Tulakalum has a cocoa content of 75% and does not contain any soya lecithin. Its high fat content comes from its cocoa and offers an ideal texture for all kinds of pastry-making and chocolatier’s applications, including coating.
🍫
This is some of the best of Belizean cocoa in a chocolate with a high cocoa content and a unique sensory profile.
