About this blog

  • Farm girl by birth, city girl by marriage… The only constant in my life has always been good, wholesome food, wine and company! Although I chose a variety of career paths in my life, I studied food and wine for six years before embarking on a detour that finally led me back to the kitchen, where I feel so at home! This blog exists to invite you into my kitchen, with all its fragrances, warmth and laughter! Please come inside…

Berry and 70% Chocolate Dessert

Img_2112 I washed the berries (I had only strawberries and gooseberries) and patted them dry.  Then I de-stalked the strawberries and cut them in quarters, while I cut the goobies in half.  I sprinkled castor sugar over them and left them standing for an hour or so.  Then, just before serving, I grated 70% chocolate into them, added a few green pepper corns, and sprinkled them with roasted almond flakes for mouth-feel.  I served it with fresh double thick cream, and a sprig of mint, and we had a wonderful end to our meal.  Try it!  It's quick, easy, and delicious.  The green peppercorns added a different dimension.
