And the chocolate keeps coming!
The article in this month's Bon Appetit is about cocoa, and the merits of using regular cocoa rather than dutch process cocoa, which they say is too dry. This is good old-fashioned Hershey's Cocoa. Fitting, since my last post was about Scharffen Berger, which is owned by Hershey's.
Browned butter is a wonderful thing. It enhances everything it's used in, from cakes to cookies to pasta sauces. It's easy to make, and gives everything a nutty, grown-up flavor.
All of this is leading to the fact that I made the Cocoa Brownies with Browned Butter and Walnuts that I mentioned a couple of days ago. And oh boy, are they good. Try them and see - sweet enough for kids, decadent enough for the end of a dinner party.
An added bonus is that the walnuts are from my friend Missy's orchard. You can't get more local/better than that!
