We love to cook and we especially enjoy cooking with chocolate. Here are just some of the very best chocolate recipes from around the world. A whole range of chocolate cakes, from double chocolate loaf to chocolate fudge cake. We have cheesecake and chocolate cherry cake too. Many of the recipes involve baking, but some can be done on the table-top while others are suitable for the kids (such as decorating a chocolate base with buttons, shapes, icing sugar and cocoa powder). Chocolate mousse is one of my favourites, as are the moist cupcakes. Most recipes use cooking chocolate as this tends to perform better at melting without separation and sets without a powdery residue. White chocolate makes many appearances here, with an unusual appearance in the traditional brownies. Chocolate melts at low temperatures so we cover how to melt it safely, for use in moulds and as a hot sauce to put on top of a dessert. For the purists among us, we also cover how to make home-made chocolate with the bonus of a chilli twist for a very special post-dinner bite.
