Twice a year (Christmas and Easter), my kitchen gets transformed into a chocolate factory. Chocolate galore ensues. Ganache, dipping chocolate, drizzles ... a complete overload. And that's not counting other seasonal goodies that involve yet more chocolate: Cookies, bark, chocolate Buche (Yule log). Every Christmas a couple hundred of chocolate truffles are fabricated and distributed to family, friends, neighbors and work colleagues. Flavor of the year : Grand Marnier.
