TOP FOOD BLOGGER or CHEESE JUDGE EXTRAORDINAIRE??

Slice-O-Choc!

Slice-O-Choc!

Just as I get nominated (and voted for many times…thank you!) I run into so much work that I have no time to create, let alone blog about creating! So in a feeble attempt to keep the banner high, this is a blog about more than just a recipe…its my current claim to fame. This morning I had the opportunity of getting up VERY early and making the trek to the Royal Showgrounds as one of the selected few on radio 6PR’s competition to be a cheese and ice cream judge at the Perth Royal Show. Imagine starting your day chomping down on 10 cheeses of excellence and 4 ice creams! All winners in their own right and all delicious to me…John Watson, the chief Dairy judge each year was there to take us through our paces…and make no mistake, it was harder than just wolfing down lactose laden delights!
We had to consider Body, Texture, Aroma, Content, obviously Taste was in the mix. I have to say that the cheese I selected as my winning choice (a Raclette) was outstanding amongst the outstanding-ness! Now I just have to wait and see if I picked the same winner as the judges…and as for ice cream, NOTHING beats my Panforte ice cream of recent testing (if I say so myself)…watch for that in the 2010 Calendar.

And speaking of 2010, they invited me back…so watch out…I’m destined to become the Dairy Queen…hmmn that has a certain ring to it!
Now to the recipe of today…Gluten Free, and guilt free if you consider the amount of antioxidants in dark chocolate and then look at the numbers below…who said chocolate cake (and berries) isn’t healthy? Protein rich…(I know I’m clutching at straws here…), you gotta love it! Its like a big slice of chocolate truffle. Whats not to love?

Dark Chocolate Torte with Berry Glaze.

NEED:
200g couverture or dark chocolate
250g unsalted butter
15g cocoa powder
1 teaspoon espresso powder or coffee substitute
5 large eggs
110g caster sugar

DO:
Line the base of a small springform pan.
Place chocolate and butter into Thermomix bowl and mill for 8 seconds on speed 6.
Melt together for 5 minutes at 50°C on speed 1. Add cocoa and espresso and beat together for 4 seconds on speed 6.
Cool slightly.
Add eggs and sugar and beat for 20 seconds on speed 5-6.
Pour into prepared pan.
Process in Combi Steam oven 1 hour.
Cool completely on wire rack.
If you have no steam oven, try steaming in Varoma for 1 hour and then finish off in fan forced oven for 20 minutes at 180°C.

SERVE:
Make glaze with 150g chocolate or couverture, 100g berries of choice and a dash of brandy (optional).

Place all into Thermomix and melt together for 4 minutes at 50°C on speed 1.
Pour over cake, serve with extra fresh berries and cream.

If you can manage to just have one piece, please tell me your secret!
Enjoy!

Always crazy about food since she fed the neighborhood kids that first mud pie, (seasoned with a good dash of vegemite, a childhood Aussie fave!!) she now has a tribe of her own that she happily feeds whenever she can get them to sit down long enough. Her culinary experience ranges from Bangers ‘N Mash in London long ago…(and far far away) to attempts at Chinese banquets for her University ‘roomies’ in the USA to more recent culinary holidays to Singapore and Vietnam and now several years as a food consultant, recipe developer/writer and food eater and dreamer. Obsession can be a wonderful thing! Ever resourceful and always hungry, and now the proud owner of a Thermomix, she can whip up a delicious storm in minutes, given half a chance. It is on her blogs that she shares her passion for food and the perfect cooking of it! Professionally she works to bring to two major Australian Appliance companies, the best use of said appliances in the form of recipes. Always up for a personal demonstration, plans are afoot for a cooking tour in 2009, so look out for a Thermomix class near you! She can now live without her microplane for the first time in a cooking lifetime, she still can’t live without her Thermomix and she certainly can’t live without her blog comments…so make her day and leave a note!
