I've decided to do a themed dinner at Cave revolving around one of the world's greatest foods - Chocolate. Let's be honest, who doesn't love chocolate? I have to admit that I indulge every so often - it is my fragilité (one and ONLY edible weakness).
Anyhow, for my dinner, I am determined to make it an inventive, gastronomic menu involving chocolate in all new ways. This will be the joie de vivre of meals!
I first got this idea when my intern (who is unfortunately leaving for a terrific job opportunity and I wish her le meilleur (the best) for her career!) mentioned that she cooked a delicious Mexican meal with Mole, a very commonly used chocolate based sauce. Mole does not go with desserts; in fact, it is generally served with very hearty meals. This made me realize that chocolate can be used in so many ways and I am creating a menu that is as interesting and beautiful as it is délicieux. I am trying this meal first out on my friends Aristotle and Meadow, since they are fairly picky eaters new to gourmet cuisine in hopes that if I can charm them, I can charm any customer. Who knows, maybe you'll get a chance to try it too!
