Like a kid in a candy store I don't know which book to grab first and which next. I end up with a bunch of books in Finnish or English in my hands wondering which one to buy. Looking down I realize that although I entered my heaven to get an educational gift for a friend's kid I, surprise-surprise, am holding more cook books than gift options.
I decided to purchase the book Kotona tehdyt Suklaat published in Finnish by WSOY and written by C.Jausserand. At first the book caught my eye due to its rather unusual packaging. It comes in a plastic see-through box along with 30 silicon cooking molds. Reasonably priced, this little discovery turned out to be a treasure!
The book includes ideas on some 20 chocolate recipes with illustrations and clear instructions. I had a go as soon as I had time to allocate to cooking. They are easy to make although one has to pay close attention to the temperature of the perspective chocolate used (i.e. dark, milk, white or 70% etc).
I put to the test one of my favorite types, the dark hazelnut ganache chocolate. My little dark temptations turned out just great!
You can find this recipe in the desserts section.
Have a go and enjoy the rich flavors of pure dark chocolate made at home.
