I came across this fascinating article and had to share!
Nothing new at Cocoa Nouveau to report. I am so relieved to have put off production this summer with all the record heat we have had. I would have been a wreck had I continued during this wicked summer heat that won't seem to go away! I had hoped to have tasted several new chocolates by now, but quite honestly, the only chocolate I can tolerate right now is in a Ben and Jerry's container. Which is fine, as shipping costs for chocolate during the summer are astronomical.
I have been playing around with some wonderful chocolate ice cream recipes from David Lebovitz's book "The Perfect Scoop," this is the only ice cream book you will ever need. From amazing vanilla to gianduja gelato, there are recipes for the mix in and the cones as well. A must have book, if you are an ice cream fan, of course.
I recently read another article about a chocolate line I am excited to try Hotel Chocolate an English chocolate company which has the oldest cocoa estate in St. Lucia. The Hotel Chocolate, an actual hotel will be opening this year on the estate. I wish this company much success and I can't wait to try their products!
I hope everyone is having a relaxing, cool summer!
