Hank Friedman posted a blog postMy Gourmet Chocolate Recipes
I really enjoy creating new truffles and other desserts and have had two local restaurants use my recipes (for chocolate polenta cake for their special New Years Eve dinner, and my Tiramousse). I publish all of my recipes on my website: http://soulhealing.com/choco.htm and invite you all to view them. Among the truffle recipes, so many are outstanding: the passionfruit, jasmine, black cherry, and pecan to mention a few. Enjoy!See More
