This week's lessons are focused on chocolate. On Monday, we made nougat de montelimar and raspberry fruit jelly to be hand-dipped in chocolate on Tuesday. On Wednesday, we concentrated on making the chocolate boxes which will be part of our assessment on November.
Chef Herve was asked to create a berries and chocolate dessert for a magazine photo shoot. So he made this quick chocolate mousse with a berries compote with red wine. Pretty huh.

I didn't take any photos of my nougat and fruit jelly due to some unknown reason that just escapes me. But I did capture my beautifully made chocolate box. I was so pleased with it because Chef Herve pointed out that my box was the only one with the right dimensions. *crackles* Simplicity is the way to go.
End.
End.
I'm just browsing around for Christmas ideas as its getting ever closer and it will be here before I know it. This chocolate gift set looks absolutely adorable!
ReplyDeleteThe great thing with my family and friends is that I know they are all chocolate mad! So buying for them isn't very hard as I know what tickles their taste buds.
Last year I brought my best friend the boo box from hotel chocolat and it brought the biggest smile to her face.
Of all the chocolate goodness pictured here, the chocolate-dipped chips made my mouth water the most. Don't know why...I guess it seems like the perfect mix of sweet.
ReplyDeleteI have planned to give surprise to my friend on his birthday and now its final that i'll gift her a chocolate cake decorated with jelly. Thanks for such a beautiful idea dear.
