5 Strange yet Wonderful Combinations with Chocolate!





1. Chocolate & Bacon   Yep you heard that right! Apparently chocolatier Katrina Markoff, founder of Vosges Haut-Chocolat, combines applewood-smoked bacon and smoked salt with dark milk chocolate in her Mo's Bacon Bar. Who would have thought!

2. Chocolate & Cauliflower  Heston Blumenthal whipped up a cauliflower risotto with a carpaccio of cauliflower and chocolate jelly. The flavours combined turned into something sensational.

3. Chocolate & Black Pudding  just when you thought it couldn't get any stranger! Apparently a mixture of chocolate and cream is combined with blood to make Italian black pudding.

4. Chocolate & Goat's Cheese Chocolatier Paul A. Young is known for combing cheese and chocolate, and surprisingly it's delicious combined.

5. Chocolate & Tomato It's believed that dark chocolate/cocoa adds richness and depth to savoury tomato dishes such as chilli con carne, and smooths the edges of sharp ingredients such as tomato.

So why not be brave and try out these combinations, you may be pleasantly surprised!
