Atole is a Mexican drink, made from masa flour and piloncillo - Mexican brown sugar. It is traditionally a holiday drink, but this chocolate atole (also known in an ever-so-slightly different version as champurrado) recipe would be scrumptious just about any time, don’t you think?

Well, here’s something in the news that is bound to stir the chocolate pot a little bit. On April 1st, just in time for Easter, a 6 foot chocolate statue of Jesus will be unveiled by its creator, Cosimo Cavallaro, in Lab Gallery in the Roger Smith Hotel in midtown Manhattan.
The statue will […]
Cocoa futures are rising. Now I’m not an investment genius but I do know that when market prices rise, eventually it seems to hit us regular people in the pocketbook. Just how long it takes to get from a high price for cocoa futures to a high price for chocolate in the store is a […]
Think you can’t bake a cake without flour? Think again. The Black Beast, also known in more sophisticated circles as La Bete Noire, is a simple but sinfully decadent flourless chocolate cake.

Chocolate Raspberry Truffles are incredibly elegant, unbelievably delicious and surprisingly easy to make. My favorite comes from Godiva, with a very close second coming from my own kitchen. This is my recipe (which I have had on a card for years and years, but I believe came from a Williams-Sonoma cookbook that belongs […]
The usual code of conduct is not to steal from your employer. I thought this was one everyone knew without being told.
