Welcome to my kitchen (lab?)
My channel is you watching the results of my 2am thoughts of “I wonder what would happen if I put A with B?” The answers lean heavily towards cake, and my ongoing quest to find a good meat substitute. I’m a vegan that loves animal products, but hates what’s involved; so I’ve dived headfirst into a rabbit hole of different plant-based textures and flavours. These are often the 1st time that I’ve tried a recipe, and I’ll talk you through why I’m using the ingredients and what I think happened when things go wrong.
Grab a vessel of whatever makes you happy and enjoy, but be warned; it’s messy here sometimes!

Chocolate Salami: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j4CpeqGGic-Spck Recipe notes & tips: - Sugar leeches moisture, so just be aware if you’re dusting your truffles, you may see patches that look darker/wetter - If you want to try adding some alcohol, you could add it, then put a small spoonful in the freezer for a few minutes to see how it sets. If it’s too liquid, then melt some additional chocolate and add it to the main mixture - It would be interesting to try making my own stem ginger in maple syrup. Then I’d add pecans to the truffle mixtures. I’ll update here once I do!

I’ve always loved how UK people say “chocolate”. Like, I’m American and the way way we say it is not bad in my opinion, but ever since I’ve watched the Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory film years ago as a kid, I realized y’all have that extra “umph“ the way y’all say it 😆. I think it’s the part where y’all say the “cola” (sounds like “cla”). Every time you get to that part, I swear it’s like somethings melting in my mouth 😆. I don’t know, I just love the way y’all say it with your accents! It’s like the best thing haha. Get well soon, Merry Christmas. I have to get my vaccination soon and I hate to because I have side effects from it that feel like how you described. So I hear ya on the recovery process. Tasty looking treats ❤ 🍫

A gift is wrapped, not in ribbons n bows. But in the love it embraces. A gift is not bestowed by the wealth it shows. But by the caring infused. A gift is not accepted because it is expected. But by humble gratitude. Gifts are exchanged with mutual respect. And never taken for granted. Rachel, thank you for your gifts of time, resources, and commitment your channel has graced so many of your viewers with. May your life provide you with all you need and wish for. Wishing you and yours a very Happy Christmas and a prosperous New Year.✨️ 14:12
