I’m making a fancy and original (no recipes, all made up myself) dinner for my Valentine. Of special interest on the forum are these chocolate stout hearts. She loves stout so I made homemade chocolate with raw cacao paste, dme, and a powder of ground TF pale chocolate malt, roasted barley, and black patent malt.
The chocolates will be served with a cherry creme brulee with a hint of rosewater. Also on the menu: ravioli stuffed with lobster,white miso butter, gruyere and parmesan with a lobster infused coconut milk cream sauce with saffron and champagne and sauted duck breast with an ume plum glaze and pickled shitakes deep fried in duck fat served over spicy braised greens and pureed roasted cauliflower and leeks. She’s making a fancy pre dinner cocktail.
