Recipes: tried & true.

 

It was a gourmet weekend, of food & wine tasting with new friends, a delightful {"So Long Summer...Hello Autumn"} cooking class with my Grandma, and a continued 2-week-and-counting attempt to 'clear out the pantry' (aka:  use what we have - eat in - be creative - set the recipes-to-try aside for another day, or weekend).  

So ... it would only make sense to "top" the weekend off with a Gourmet Hot Fudge Sauce - and because this is a place to share...


* Cook's Notes:  
  • This delicious recipe was referred to me by my dad's wife- an author, an entertaining expert, a food writer, an original foodie, and a woman who cooks with ease, with skill, with passion (a trustworthy source, for sure).
  • For recipes that recommend Dutch-process cocoa powder (vs. unsweetened cocoa powder), I'd suggest the investment, as Dutch-process powder yields a deeper, richer flavor.

  6. Torrie - I don't know if it's just me, but your comments font is so tiny I have to increase my viewing screen just to read them! Just thought I'd let you know. :)

    Have you ever tried making this with anything other than corn syrup?

    I have not yet tried it with corn syrup but do plan on doing so. I will let you know if I do and how it turns out.

  9. Life can be very tough sometime but there are certain things that help us forget and move on. Food is also a kind of therapy that can make life more happy and exciting.
