Day 70: Orange Chocolate Liquers... Yummy!

Well, today was another crazy busy day, starting off with salad duty. I really am going to miss salad duty, the salad leaves in the school are some of the best you'll find. Then straight into a new kitchen with a new partner, today was chocolate day. I mentioned it before, but I am so much better at desserts and chocolate based items than main courses- I really have a flair for them.

I made Mary Jo's chocolates which were yummy with some Cointreau orange liqueur. I came up with a great addition too; a squeeze of lime in the chocolate before it sets, super delicious. I covered the work counter in chocolate so mega messy but a good way to start off what is going to be a long week. In the afternoon demo, Darina Allen discussed the various trends she came across in New York during her work there over the last five days.

Here's a nice interview from Darina Allen's recent trip to New York- you may remember that stew from my early blog days ;)
