Chocolate devotees remember their first truffle with the same detail and fondness that they remember their first kiss! Unlike their mother's box of chocolates with cloying nougats, the first bite of a true chocolate truffle declared new territory! With chocolate truffles, the soft ganache hidden inside the petite gems dissolves perfectly at mouth temperature, eliciting no words, only sighs. A splendid truffle is as wonderful as a great glass of wine, a bite of perfectly seared steak, an al dente tortellini - in other words, a permanent resident in the pantheon of food fantasies. Chocolate truffles are traditionally rough, cocoa-dusted balls of ganache named so because of their similarity to the rare and greatly prized mushroom truffles. In this issue, we equip you with the knowledge and skills for devising your own signature truffles. We'll demystify the magic behind tempering chocolate and making ganache, while offering tons of tips for successfully working with chocolate in your own kitchen. We finish with three recipes for truffles - each a great example of different truffle-making methods. You'll be amazed at the ease of fashioning your own truffles, and delighted at the response of the lucky people you share them with - if you share, that is!
