NEVER SAY NO TO CHOCOLATE..

Who doesn't like chocolate? Everyone loves chocolate!!I might be a bit bias here, but I'm sure most of us like it once we have a bite of chocolate.Have you ever wonder how to make your own chocolate truffle? It is not hard, just need a bit of love and patient. Chocolate truffles are usually expensive, they are traditionally made with ganache ( fresh cream + dark chocolate ) coated with chocolate or anything from nuts to dried fruits. I decided to sign up for a chocolate workshop to master the skill of making a perfect chocolate truffle. It was a good experience and the truffles that I made turned out very nice.Hint hint** It is a perfect gift ideas as well, especially for your special one.However, for the price of AUD 130 to attend this workshop, I find it a bit expensive. I could have done it on my own with a recipe.

NOT A FAN OF COFFEE

I'm not a fan of coffee, once a while i will have a mocha, and that's about it. I'm more a chocolate person.I guess boredom bring me to learn how to make coffee.It's a three hours class that teaches you how to make every single coffee menu in a cafe.It's fun.However, I still can't master the technique of silking milk. I think I used up 4 bottle of 2 litre of milk that night to practice.Haha..The teacher seemed to struggle when trying to show me the right way.*faint* At least now i understand the concept, if i have more practice, I'm sure i'll master the art of making perfect coffee!!
