So in my cooking class this week our concentration was chocolate! I know I literally died! So we started class with none other than a chocolate tasting. We started out with white chocolate then went from milk chocolate, to milk chocolate with hazelnuts, to 70% cacao, and then 85% cacao. Yum! If you're looking for some cheap fantastic chocolate my teacher says Lindt is some of the best inexpensive mass produced chocolate you can find. Also these pictures are really crappy, but believe me everything was amazing!
So what did we make? Ravioli di cacao al brie e pere (chocolate ravioli with pear and brie), Pollo con funghi porcini, mele verdi e cioccolato (chicken with mushrooms, green apples, and chocolate), and Torta Caprese al mango e sorbetto limone (chocolate cake with mangoes and lemon sorbet).
According to an Italian study every three days a small amount of dark chocolate (around 20g) can provide you with some cardiovascular health benefits! Some of these benefits include antioxidants, lowered blood pressure, and more! The darker the chocolate the better!
So enjoy! In moderation of course!
