Few would
argue that chocolate is the indulgence of choice for most of us. In
"The Delia Collection: Chocolate" Delia
Smith plunges us right into the choccie fray with a very serviceable recipe for
Chocolate Fudge Cake, with wholemeal flour used to give an extra special
moistness to the cake. Typically, the recipe gives us just the bald,
unvarnished facts - Delia's speciality as a chef. Similarly, even more
indulgent recipes perform a canny balancing act - describing the most
outrageous of recipes in simple, unaffected prose. How about Squidgy Chocolate
Cakes with Prunes in Marsala? This most seductive of treats is surprisingly
made without flour. Very little in this volume will do much for your waistline,
but don't we all deserve a little indulgence? These are not recipes for every
day, after all. |
