  • Savoury dishes.  Molé is ubiquitous with Mexico – it’s a traditional sauce for chicken, turkey or beef.  Added to the tomatoes, chillis, onions and spices is a small amount of dark chocolate and this creates a really rich sauce.  You can add a square or two of Divine’s 70% or 85% chocolate (both available at Tesco) to lots of savoury stews and sauces to add an extra flavour dimension and to make them really rich and glossy.
  • Have you ever heard of chocolate art?  Take a look at some of these incredible chocolate creations: www.foodisart.co.uk.  Try your own on a smaller scale by using a brush to paint melted chocolate over a rose leaf (holding it by the stem), letting it dry, then carefully peeling off – fantastic decorations to cakes and puds!
  • Did you know you can pair chocolate with wine and even tea?  Take a look at Divine’s tasting notes.
  • If you’re still not satiated then have a read of these chocolate classics: Charlie & the Chocolate Factory (Roald Dahl, 1964), Chocolat: A Novel (Joanne Harris, 1990), Like Water for chocolate (Laura Esquivel, 1995)
