     There is one thing we can all be sure of and that is the fact that where there is a celebration, there will be food. Be it a wedding, birthday party or the celebration of 10 years in business, we celebrate our special times in life with good cooking and eating. The holidays are a great example of this as we all plan our family and social gatherings around feasting.

     In this monthly journal, we are going to explore some of the history and lore of eating and drinking. As we learn about foods, ingredients and cultural traditions, it is my hope that you will find an even greater appreciation for everything culinary. I will be giving you tips and suggestions on how to better appreciate the food and dining experience, including some of my favorite recipes.

     Christmas season brings thoughts of large family gatherings and dinners with your loved ones. It also brings about thoughts of CHOCOLATE. Today I will unveil our favorite chocolate dessert recipe that we teach in all of our cooking classes. If you have a child that has participated in our summer Culinary Academy for Kids, than you surely have had this dessert. If not, here is a very simple recipe for the molten chocolate filled soufflé cake that we call...THE CHOCOLATE VOLCANO EXPERIENCE.

Chocolate Volcano

Servings: 4
Chef Christopher

 

8 ounces chocolate

4 ounces butter

½ teaspoon vanilla

½ cup sugar

3 tablespoons flour

¼ teaspoon salt

4 eggs

1 tablespoons cocoa powder

 

Melt chocolate with butter and vanilla

Combine Sugar, Flour, and salt

Add sugar/flour mixture to chocolate and beat well

Add eggs one at a time and beat well

Butter ramekins and sprinkle cocoa powder in each one

Fill each ramekin with chocolate lava mixture

Bake 12 to 14 minutes at 375 degree oven

Enjoy with Ice cream or whipped cream

 

Fun Facts and Tips

·        The Average American eats 11 to 12 pounds of chocolate per year compared to over 22 # per person in Switzerland

·        The term "beating" in a recipe refers to the rapid mixing of ingredients while incorporating air, not quite whipping but more than just mixing. Use the paddle attachment on a counter top mixer or a hand mixer immersed into your bowl of ingredients.

·        If you do not have ramekins, sturdy coffee cups or even soup cups will work
