My favorite flavor is the rather plain-Jane Mint Chocolate Cookie, but one cannot underestimate the joys of eating mint ice cream that doesn't taste like toothpaste. I love The Bent Spoon!

Many thanks to you, Victor. The article on the Maillard reaction was particularly fascinating, especially the part about browning onions by adding a pinch of baking soda. Who knew? http://blog.khymos.org/2008/09/26/speeding-up-the-maillard-reaction/ Very interesting site. Many thanks to you, Victor.

It's a...challenge, I think would be the right word...a challenge to create dishes with some ingredients one would not normally think of pairing. These are not random pairings; rather, the challenges are inspired by science and chemistry: <i>(They Go Really Well Together) refers to flavour pairing of ingredients based on their content of volatile aroma compounds. The idea behind flavour pairing is that if two (or more) foods have one or more volatile compounds in common, chances are good that they might taste well together...</i> says the intro to TGRWT#1. Of course, some ideas work while others don't; I like that the failures are frequently submitted along with the successes. The recipes are always fun and even if the thought of combining garlic, chocolate, and coffee isn't exactly your cup of tea, I'm sure you'd admire the thought and creativity that goes into these creations.

Bring milk to the boil with the rosemary and then turn heat down to a very gentle simmer. Allow milk to simmer for about 15 minutes. Meanwhile melt chocolate au bain Marie. Fill the sink with a bit of cold water. Sift the needles from the milk and add the chocolate, beating very well with a whisk. Plunge the pan into the cold water and let mixture cool for about 10 minutes, whisking occasionally. --------------------- Sectina <a href="http://www.widedriven.com" rel="nofollow">Guaranteed ROI</a> Remove the needles from the sprig of rosemary.

In europe, I've found them in many places: there are 'diavoletti' in Italy, chocolate with ground red pepper flakes; Viennese use cinnamon with chocolate all the time; in Amsterdam there used to be a chocolate shop that had all kinds of spices- lemongrass, ginger, black pepper and cinnamon were favorites, but I also vaguely recall thyme. hmmm, I think I'm going to try a molten chocolate cake with thyme next time.....

Please don't adulterate chocolate with just anything only to try to start a trend? I just love chocolate anything – but rosemary I don’t.

I have not repeated this experiment in my own laboratory.
