![]() Perfect rich and sinful, but easy to make after dinner puddings. [...] ![]() Learn to love your leftovers and cook some amazing meals. [...] ![]() This is a timely post, as next week the contestants on the Great British Bake Off will be challenged with making a croquembouche. Admittedly profiteroles are not quite a croque, but if you can make a good choux bun and creme patisserie you are halfway there.

[...] ![]() Mayonnaise brownies from Hellmann’s [...] Mad Scientist Cupcakes, with Oreos and popping candy [...] This baking addiction is starting to get out of hand and I thought that it was time to return to Fuss Free Flavours bootcamp basics. I originally started this blog as I was becoming increasingly upset by the number of people buying fat and additive laden food in the cheap supermarket on the North End [...] [...] Imagine a rich, buttery, velvety smooth chocolate mousse; one so rich that an espresso cup full is more than enough. [...] It has been too long since I blogged a smoothie. Thick, satisfying and delicious it feels vaguely sinful having chocolate for breakfast, but this really is very healthy despite tasting like a spiced chocolate oaty biscuit. You need to be slightly organised here and soak the oats and dates overnight for a creamier smoothie. I [...] [...] It would appear that Fuss Free Flavours has recently become a chocolate baking blog. This is not my long term intention, and normal fuss free service will be resumed soon, but this cake was too good not to blog. It is also fairly fuss free, the recipe both having a forgiving nature and being of [...] [...] This giveaway is now closed. I was recently sent a large box of samples from Hotel Chocolat, which was very exciting and I have been busy cooking with their cooking chocolate, and writing recipes using thier products. I am a converted fan to their Liquid Chocolate which is delicious not only in its intended use [...] [...] I am happy to say that I am about to have a giveaway of some lovely liquid chocolate from Hotel Chocolat. But in the interests of my readers I feel that that it is only fair that I extensively test the product before I post the giveaway, and give your some ideas of what to [...] [...] At the moment I seem to be slightly baking obsessed and am currently in search of the perfect madeleine, as well as the quest for the ultimate chocolate cake, but that is another post. I last made them about 3 years ago, and obviously liked them enough to write up the recipe. [...] I am sure that chocolate crispies are one of the first things that anyone learns to cook, I certainly have a memory as a young child of making them with my mother. She often used whole wheat flakes or a half and half mix with cornflakes. Surely with all that cocoa, sugar, syrup and butter [...] [...] These tasting notes are mainly as an aide memoir for me, as I can never remember which brands that I like, or perhaps more importantly do not like. Over time I am hoping to build up a substantial database on my ingredients page. I wrote very scant notes on this one, and again was totally [...] [...] I cooked this last week as another excuse to celebrate Chocolate Week! It is impossibly rich, but very good, it really does need that tot of brandy added at the end which will cut through the chocolate. It took about 50 minutes to cook, I think that it was something to do with the sauce [...] [...] I spent 2 days at the Restaurant Show this week watching the UK selection for the World Chocolate Masters, which will be held in Paris next October. As I wrote in my interview with Chef Graham Hornigold, it really is serious stuff. Competitors have just 15 hours to produce: A chocolate showpiece between 1 and [...] [...] Autumn is upon us and today it was time to dig out and dust off my slow cooker after not using it all summer. In further celebration of Chocolate Week, and bouyed by the success of the stout brownies, I made a casserole, using another bottle of the double chocolate stout I was sent by [...] [...] This year Chocolate Week is from the 11th to the 17th October. I am sure that on any given day of the year it will be National day or week for something or another, but I like chocolate and am more than happy to celebrate and have an “official” reason to eat or cook with [...] [...] |
