I’ve Had an Epiphany!

The other day I went to the new local grocery outlet store. It’s one of those places that sells all the items that the regular grocery store has pulled off their shelves. There’s nothing wrong with them, it’s just their a little dented or dinged that’s all.

I got a nice bunch of stuff for $7, and the best was the box of Ghiardelli brownie mix for $1.25! woo hoo..

But let me tell you.. those delicious brownies pale in comparison to the delectable delights in my latest cook book. Chocolate Epiphany: Exceptional Cookies, Cakes, and Confections for Everyone  by Francois Payard is chock full of THE most tempting chocolate creations I have ever seen.

Chocolate pavlovas with chocolate mascarpone mousse!!  Check out the meringue serving bowl.. how I love it when you can eat the dishes rather than washing them!

Chocolate churros.. Hey Isela I will make these for you if you come to visit me!! (I’ll try not to burn them!)

From chocolate breads to tarts and cakes  and candies; this book covers it all. So far I have been content to flip through the pages and drool. However I think this week I will make some of the flourless chocolate cookies.. it seems I actually have all the ingredients at hand.. so why not! Another must make is the chocolate churros.. maybe for Cinco de Mayo?  I think I have everything I need for those too!

Oooh and I can’t wait to try the tiramisu I think I can do it because the directions seem pretty clear!

  3. Yum, chocolate! All that chocolate is making me hungry! Especially the brownies – brownies are my absolute favorite chocolate dessert.

    And hey, nothing wrong with going to a grocery outlet. I won’t go to the major chain grocers like Giant Eagle – why pay $4.50 for a box of cereal that’s less than $3.00 at Marc’s?

  4. Wow! Wish we had grocery outlet stores here in Australia, sounds like good value. 🙂
