… wow… like, really…. wow…
… as mentioned… we spent Friday evening with good friends… and oh-so-good-great-amazing-make-me-ill-i-devoured-so-much food from the limited engagement Greek cocoa-feast at eclipse chocolate…
…will… the owner and alchemist at eclipse chocolat truly has a gift… he infused some form of chocolate into all three courses… successfully… and it wasn’t ever just a hint of chocolate to say that it was there… the chocolate forms were recognizable with each dish… but totally worked and complemented their savory counterpart…
…let’s be honest… we had a greek boy whose grandma makes this stuff legit… and he was totally blown away…
…round one: white chocolate was literally brushed over spinach spanikopita (and no i still can’t say that)…
…round two… mmmm falafel and hummus… and rice pilaf with bits of cocoa bean… it definitely wasn’t your standard rice pilaf taste… it was, obviously, a sweeter version… but it totally worked… and i would have never thought or dreamed it would have…
…round three… ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh… ok now that i’ve gotten that over with… round three… was rock my world- out of this world… 2 pieces of baklava… one with peppercorn in it… which added a bit of a bite… and the other a hazelnut with a more traditional flaky crust… now here this… on the side was an entire glass of melted orange blossom infused chocolate sauce to be poured over the two precious squares… let’s be honest i poured… and then licked the spoon… the sauce was so rich… and sooooooooooo delicious…
…we left completely awe-filled at what a chocolate minded man could create… and with a resolve to take part in each of his future endeavors… and for those of you kicking yourself for not making reservations when i suggested you should before… here is the information for the next pre-fixe chocolate dinner… an authentically Mexican Oaxacan Fiesta…
…p.s. i tried to take photos… but this dum dum forgot to make sure the camera bettery was charged…
so sorry to my visually stimulated readers…
