FAT FREE CHOCOLATE

Hello!

This is my first time writing a food blog, huh? Let's see if I can manage as well as Poke did:D

However, let me start with a story:

I've been dieting for 3 weeks. I think I'm going crazy. This morning I had a conversation with a chocolate bar. Lovely, dark, thin, delicious but oh, so many calories and so much fat! I wish I could resist him...but we belong together like water and lake, wc and wc-paper, air and breathing. Mr. Chocolate has stolen my heart. I think there's no way out. I guess I'll just have to be fat and happy with Mr.Choco or die in despair!

Suddenly, a wild Momo, dressed to kill, appears. "Miss, I sense that you - are a victim of Mr. Choco's wild temptations! I've come to save you!".

Yesterday I was planning to make a nice cup of hot chocolate. However, I ended up preparing something like dark chocolate.

This recipe is nice because it barely includes any fat or milk. Basicly, it has 4 ingredients. Here we go:

Momo's fat free choco sensation

3 tspn of Sugar

2 Tbls of Cocoa

0.25 dl of Boiling water

pinch of Salt

1. Mix the sugar with salt and dissolve them with boiling water. If you want, you can also use orange juice, rum or sherry but make sure it is hot enough to dissolve sugar.

2. Mix the solution with cocoa. The amount of cocoa used in this recipe is for illustrative purposes only so just add cocoa until the structure is soft but non-sticky.

3. Move the chocolate mass into a b

oard and use your hands to make yourself some truffles.

4. Decorate them! I used cashew nuts (strongly recommend!) Sun flower seed and Orange peel.

5. Enjoy!

"But how are you going to save me?"The girl asked. Momo closed her eyes and smiled. "Here you go, a chocolate truffle with no fat and as little calories as in fruits" The girl stared Momo with a little suspicious face but tasted the truffle. " This can't be.." she said "..thank you for saving me!". Momo smiled politely and kicked Mr. Chocolates ass. " Yo, Mr. Choco-Loco, I think it's your time to go and get divorced with Mrs. Calories, Y know, calories are so out!"

Mr. Choco looked down and smiled. " I guess you've saved me too, Mrs. Calories was always cheating on me with Mr. Chips anyway" Momo grinned and caught her anti-calorie gun. "I guess he'll be next then!"

The End.

Yours sincerely,

(Super)Momo

TIME!

Finally.

I know there's people who have been waiting for us to start this blog for ages!

Some of you even doubted if bananas can cook after all? :D

We're SOO sorry that it took this long but I promise- it will be worth waiting!

some of the first entries will be microwave cooking and it's basics, salads can be good and easily delicious!

....not with those titles though :D

Why now?

I (poke) am doing a cooking book as my final year project, and what would be better way to force myself to do it, than cooking blog?

I won't be posting all my recipes to here, since I don't want to reveal any parts of my book before publishing it, but I promise there will be lots of nice -and easy- recipes!

This is our first dish!

It's called mozzarella- aubergine stacks with tomato sauce! I served some mushroom-risotto and green salad as the side dishes.

Ingredients!

2 large aubergines

olive oil for brushing

sea salt and grounded black pepper

1 bunch of flat leaf parsley, finely chopped!

3 cloves of garlic, also finely chopped!

1 lemon, zest of

4 balls of mozzarella (100g)

Tomato Sauce:

1tbsp olive oil

1 Shallot, finely chopped

1 small chili, deseeded and chopped

8 ripe tomatoes

Pinch on sugar!

2tbsp chopped fresh basil

1.Preheat the oven to 180C

2.Slice the aubergine and brush with olive oil, season lightly with salt and pepper, soften the aubergine on the hot pan, side by side. It takes about 3 minutes per side!

3.Let's make the gremolata! mix together the parsley, garlic, lemon zest and rosemary!

4.Cut the mozzarella into slices, divide the mozzarella and aubergine into portions by making towers out of the slices! Put some gremoulata, salt and pepper between every layer.

5.Bake the stacks in the oven for about 15 minutes, until the mozzarella starts to melt!

6, meanwhile, make the sauce by frying some oil, adding the shallot, chili and garlic, saúte for 5 minutes and add the rest of the ingrendients and cook for about 10 minutes until you have thick and nice sauce! if you want, you can make it into purée by running it into a blender

7. serve with green salad and rice/risotto

This recipe is semi-easy and vegetarian!

Tastes so good!
