The other day I went to the new local grocery outlet store. It’s one of those places that sells all the items that the regular grocery store has pulled off their shelves. There’s nothing wrong with them, it’s just their a little dented or dinged that’s all.
I got a nice bunch of stuff for $7, and the best was the box of Ghiardelli brownie mix for $1.25! woo hoo..
But let me tell you.. those delicious brownies pale in comparison to the delectable delights in my latest cook book. Chocolate Epiphany: Exceptional Cookies, Cakes, and Confections for Everyone by Francois Payard is chock full of THE most tempting chocolate creations I have ever seen.
A little pictorial tour if I may..
Chocolate pavlovas with chocolate mascarpone mousse!! Check out the meringue serving bowl.. how I love it when you can eat the dishes rather than washing them!
This is flourless milk chocolate cake with grapefruit & hazelnuts.. Looks like a lovely chocolate waterfall that I could just stand under and open my mouth!!
Chocolate popcorn topping a chocolate parfait.. can someone say chick flick movie night?
Chocolate churros.. Hey Isela I will make these for you if you come to visit me!! (I’ll try not to burn them!)
From chocolate breads to tarts and cakes and candies; this book covers it all. So far I have been content to flip through the pages and drool. However I think this week I will make some of the flourless chocolate cookies.. it seems I actually have all the ingredients at hand.. so why not! Another must make is the chocolate churros.. maybe for Cinco de Mayo? I think I have everything I need for those too!
Oooh and I can’t wait to try the tiramisu I think I can do it because the directions seem pretty clear!
What fun! Oops! Gotta run, my brownies are done!
