Short week short post!
As I mentioned yesterday, I’ve been on a dessert craze, practicing furiously on the weekdays and weekends. One of my pastry coworkers-turned-friends from a certain place has a fantastic home kitchen that could rival some professional restaurants’. Even though he’s off to start his own venture in Laguna Beach (Socal folks, look out), we’ve been getting together once a week to streamline his recipes and my cleanliness skills – I have a tendency to spread messes which is definitely not the greatest when there are a million dishes to do and it’s time for bed.
A couple weeks ago, he taught me how to make this gorgeous fallen chocolate soufflé tart – again, with some good quality chocolate like I discussed yesterday. I won’t post the recipe, as it’s not mine, but I did want to share photos of the final product, complete with a rainy day background and February-red motif.
Chocolate on chocolate.

Shikha says
February 24, 2014 at 1:33 pmIt is, and the fact that it’s a “fallen” soufflé means that you can’t even mess it up 🙂
Ala says
