Study Time
With my Christmas present already here, I’ve been doing some studying to make the most of it.
I have bought two books, and I think either would make a great gift if you have a chocoholic in your life (or something to add to your wish list if you are one). The first is Chocolates and Confections, by Peter Greweling, which is more technical, and Making Fine Chocolates by Andrew Shotts.
From what I’ve read so far, either one has a lot of information, interesting recipes, and good tips for making chocolates.
The only problem is that the books might prove very popular and hard to keep to one’s self (see photo right)!

Now THAT’s the kind of studying I’d love to do! Looks like you’ll have some cuddly company studying with you too!

Ver jealous of your tempering machine!
Let us know how you get on with the practical side of your studying!

Just took part in a chocolate making demonstration by Benoit Lorge (organized by Fabulous Food Trail of Dublin). It is a messy, messy job working with tempered, soft, lovely, shiny chocolate, I have to tell you. But once you know how to temper chocolate, there is nothing stopping you.
Lovely book, but I am more envious of the company of your cat.
