Chocolat!

I've written about Dufflet's carrot cake before, the best I've ever tasted -- and I tasted countless foods in my former career as a food writer -- and it's the only carrot cake I will eat.

Lately I've discovered chocolate. I was never a chocolate eater, not even as a child, preferring the salty, like nuts and olives. My taste for chocolate runs to the dark, plain and dark; one truffle in the mouth, and I'm happy!


Then I came across Dufflet's chocolate tart, a blissful, chewy, pure chocolate concoction covered in chocolate ganache, in a chocolate shortcrust pasty. It's the middle that has me conquered; I don't eat the pastry,  I cut it away, and I also discard the lump of  "white chocolate" on top because I don't like it either. It's not really "chocolate", it pure fat, albeit the fat of the chocolate, which is why it's....white.


I like chewy textures, so to make this even chewier, I keep it in the freezer. It doesn't freeze, but it does get blissfully chewier.

Year 2011 First Day

Wet and misty.
The best place to be is home.

For everything to be closed on a Saturday is bizarre. If it clears later on, I'm hoping to get out for a walk.
Meanwhile: Have a bite!

Chocolate fudge ganache-covered tart. Very chewy.
