Vegan Chocolate Orange Sesame Truffles

Regional versions of the cake are found in Tuscany, where I first ate it, and Liguria and Emilia-Romania too, but not Cilento where we were staying. Still, when I saw the chestnut flour […]

NW Chocolate Fest Recipe: Bittersweet Ganache Glazed Chocolate Torte to Live For

Chocolate Torte to Live For

My trip to the Pacific Northwest started in Portland, OR where I thoroughly enjoyed my time at the Portland VegFest, as described in my previous blog post. I’m writing now from Seattle and it’s all about chocolate, my favorite bean.  Well, chocolate and some Field Roast Grain Meat Company love. David Lee, the founder of the company, […]
