Chocolate In The UK
It is chocolate all the way across the foodie blogosphere this week as Sugar High Friday hits us with truffles. Mighty fortuitous then, that The Independent reports on the vibrant world of the chocolatier.
Our chocolate-makers are challenging our perceptions. Forget violet and rose creams, bring on the Szechuan pepper, Stilton and port, basil and strawberry with balsamic vinegar. These are delicacies devised by chefs who’ve researched the cocoa credentials and understand how unlikely sounding flavours enhance each other.
