It's celebration week in our house (new job for me & a trip away as a congrats pressie from The Hubs), so I decided to share the love and let one of you lucky lot get your hands on this amazing prize.
Courtesy of the incredibly lovely people at Green and Black's, I have a copy of their brand new, super duper, covetable, droolable and quite basically brilliant new book Ultimate Chocolate Recipes to give away. This is not just any book, this is crammed full of amazing recipes using my favourite chocolate in the whole wide world ever. With a greedy eye on baking, there are tempting recipes for cakes and cookies, cupcakes and cheesecakes, puddings and pies, as well as inspirational ideas for dinner-party desserts, ice creams and what to make for little sweets and treats. And for those who are watching their weight, or who have allergies, there are some naughty but nice recipes for you too.
Not only have Green and Black's released this divine book, but they're also running two fantastic competitions on their special website where they're recruiting a Taste Assistant and a Taste Panel. You can find out more at their Facebook page or if you tweet, please follow them.
Anyway, I'll make the competition simple...
What chocolate dessert would you have to round off your last meal? Leave a comment below telling me all about it.
Here's the rules...
Competition open to Irish & UK entrants only (can't afford to post it further!)
Competition closes on Sunday 31st October at 18.00
I'll choose a winner at random by getting Lulu to pick a number between 1 & the total number of entries
The winner should allow 28 days to receive their prize
My decision is final, so there!
I love fondant especially with really good chocolate so that would be the only option
ReplyDeleteChocolate brownies with a sprinkling of fresh raspberries through them! Divine and so yummy! Made them recently using G & B's.
ReplyDeleteEasy peasy lemon squeezy. It would have to be a rich chocolate mousse on a dense chocolate fudge brownie base with a soft but chewy chocolate ganache topping, served with some creamy vanilla ice cream and a brandy snap. Jesus me mouth is watering here having described that. Can't wait to win! ;D
ReplyDeleteIn my haste I forgot to say congrats again on the job front and eh, your hair is looking only fab today.
ReplyDelete..ahem..I have chocolate recipe that I've been carrying around in my glasses case that, judging by the yellowyness of the paper has been aging for quite some time. I would quite like someone to make it for me b4 departing to what I can only assume will be a chocolate covered paradise. It's called Hot Chocolate Pudding with Raspberries.
ReplyDeleteMy hubby is the chef in our house, & altho' he is a feeder :) he's not really a dessert maker, so instead of being a home-made dish my last meal dessert would be the black and white chocolate tiffin/cookie slice thingy from the Jarrow Cafe at Castlecomer Discovery park in Co. Kilkenny. YUM! And YUM! And YUM again!! I realize that not knowing the proper name of the thingy will not probably win me the prize- but I just had to share! Get one if you're in the area- soo tasty. Anyhow, even cover of the cookbook itself looks tasty! I may have to seek it out & give as a present to my ChefHubby!
ReplyDeleteLovely, lovely prize!
ReplyDeleteI'd have to go for these warm gooey-centred chocolate puddings served with vanilla ice cream. I've tweaked the recipe slightly to include a ganache centre and actually gotten ramekins since I first made them, but I still use G&B 70% Dark every time.
NOM!
P.S. Lulu - I will send you some lovely nail varnish if whatever number this comment is becomes your new favourite number. How do you feel about pink and sparkly? ;)
For me it would have to be my grandmother's chocolate ice cream. I know it's not the most chocolatey of desserts, but it is just right to finish off a meal.
ReplyDeleteAlthough there are many contenders, I'd have to say my favourite chocolate dessert is Trish Deseine's famous gateau.
ReplyDeleteWoohoo, huge congrats again on the job!
ReplyDeleteFor me, it would have to be Chocolate Devil's Food Cake from the Hummingbird Bakery YUMMY!
Mmmmm... my son is the chocolate fiend in our house and his favourite is Nigella's Dense Chocolate Cake with the choc fudge sauce from River Cottage Family Cookbook and good vanilla ice-cream. Rather like it myself too.
ReplyDeleteDevils food cake. Ya, BRING IT ON! Or Brownies, like really fudgy really chocolatey buttery sugary goodness nyargh drooling amazing.
ReplyDeleteHmmm, my last meal ... that would mean it has to be extra special. So, anything made with Amedei Chuao. Probably chocolate icecream made following the recipe in The Book of Sweet Things by Murphy's Ice Cream.
ReplyDeleteAlthough sur' I could just skip straight to the chocolate bar and avoid washing up too ;-)
Chocolate mousse made with a drop of cointreau for good measure! Nice and light and hits the spot - yum!!
ReplyDeleteKarina
hmmmmm I'd have to say a chocolate bread and butter pudding, with lovely melty chocolate between chooclate infused slices of bread - gooey but great! Congrats on the new job and the holiday - what a nice hubby you have
ReplyDeleteI'd make a chocolate mousse with beaten egg whites instead of cream and a bit of orange liqueur for a truly delicious cold dessert.
ReplyDeleteMy mom's mega chocolate fudge birthday cake and she used to melt 4 or 5 !! cadbury bars into the icing yum yum served with a dollop of fresh cream and a cup of tea :-)
ReplyDeleteUltimate Chocolate cake recipe on BBC Good Food. Delicious and so rich. Made it for my sister's 18th last year. Good hot or cream, with a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream. Yum!
ReplyDeleteThe magic number chosen by Lulu was 15. The winner of the G&*B Ultimate book is Lu - no fix, honest!
ReplyDeleteDrop me a mail - babaduck@gmail dot com so I can arrange to get your prize sent out to you
Hurray!! Me!! Thanks a million, delighted can't wait to get cooking from this - I wonder if there is a chocolate fondant recipe??
