Last summer I bought Willie's Chocolate Factory Cookbook. Initially I struggled with the constant use of the word 'Cacao', probably because it's an unfamiliar term for me, but the book combines beautifully a selection of recipes, with the story of how this product arrived on our shelves.
Finally today I cooked with this exquisitely packaged Venezuelan Black for the first time, making the chocolate cupcakes featured in the book. Very different to the buttercream topped buns I usually make although not in a bad way.
General view here is that whilst tasty, they are not quite as good as our usual sweeter cakes using Green & Black's chocolate. Sorry Willie! Hopefully the savoury dishes will fair better in the taste test.
