Thoughts on using Pâtissier Chocolate as an ingredient?
The Pâtissier Chocolate has an extensive product range. The chocolates are easy to use and can be used in a variety of applications from pastry making to confectionery which is ideal for me.
What is your inspiration behind in creating the recipes?
Abundance
I love kumquats, so I decided to create a dessert incorporating this flavor for the Chinese New Year. It is a rich white chocolate cake and hidden in it is a delicious orange surprise!
Creme Cocoa
My rendition of a typical creamy dark chocolate and crispy (back to basic). This is a combination of rich and luxurious chocolate with smooth, silky creme. The deep flavour of dark chocolate accented with sweet lightness, combined with the crispy cocoa nibs base complements each other perfectly.
