I love grinding my own spices, sometimes even in a mortar and pestle, the really hard way:)<br />And I really love truffles, so deceptive in their simplicity:)<br />When I was growing up in Serbia, we always use a scale for baking, but fistfuls and pinches were acceptable in cooking.

After recently shifting to the US I had started baking and a weighing scale in my kitchen will definitely help me a lot on my new venture. <br />I never thought truffles are so easy to make. Just a little worried whether I'll get the exact quality to roll these into balls. My husband coming back tomorrow night, I hope I can make a batch of these truffles to welcome him home.Sudeshnahttp://bengalicuisine.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1669690575334803852.post-36203815639640996802012-04-26T15:52:31.162-07:002012-04-26T15:52:31.162-07:00@Juicy Mouse,
Hmm..well my "double boiler&quo...@Juicy Mouse,<br />Hmm..well my "double boiler" is exactly what you used, a bowl sitting on a pan. The fanciest thing I've got is that scale, cause before that I was in handfull city! Did you chill the chocolate? Sometimes it takes a while. It's got to be firm enough to roll into balls. The first time I made these I was sure it was not going to set..and I was going to have chocolate soup too. Was I surprised that it did! The only other thing I can think of..might be the cream. Did you boil it the first time and then bring it to a boil again? Other than that..wow. I've made these twice now and the second time it took a lot longer for the stuff to cool and be rollable. Ha! Infused= soaking.<br /> I love the idea of tea and was planning on trying that myself. One of my friends also suggested orange zest too. I don't think the quality of the chocolate has anything to do with anything. Whatever chocolate you can get should work. As to color, the Valrhona is very dark so that could account for a color difference.<br /> I'm not a big candy maker as I usually wind up welding things to whatever pan I use which is why Paula Wolfert gave me that copper pot. It really helped. I was surprised I was able to pull this one off so easily. If you decide to try it again, let me know.kathy gorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03004466498215502039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1669690575334803852.post-48005054403737400922012-04-26T15:07:03.345-07:002012-04-26T15:07:03.345-07:00hi kathy! i'm new to your blog (i found you on...hi kathy! i'm new to your blog (i found you on google while ruminating on the deliciousness of kale chips) and i really like what you're doing here. i made the following adjustments to accommodate my lack of kitchenware:<br /><br />- used a completely pathetic makeshift double-boiler using a small pan inside a larger one <br />- used the pre-measured 4-oz. ghirardelli 60% cacao bittersweet chocolate (sorry! decent grocery stores are quite a drive from me)<br />- "infused" -- don't want to get too affected, i'm not a good enough cook to go there -- with this vanilla, coconut and safflower white tea i just happened to have on hand<br /><br />otherwise, i did exactly what you said. unfortunately, it didn't work. i was worried when i mixed the chocolate and cream together, because the color was like a very-chocolatey chocolate milk and the picture you posted looked really rich and truffle-like. i thought, oh well, maybe the trick is in the cooling. so i kept calm and carried on, even extending the time far beyond the recommended 2 hours. while i fell completely in love with the wacky flavor the tea imparted to it, it was still just chocolate soup.<br /><br />i can't figure out what happened! can you?Juicy Mousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17502243949126555382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1669690575334803852.post-86959558472373283842012-04-26T14:26:01.824-07:002012-04-26T14:26:01.824-07:00I liked The Colors of Indian Cooking on Facebook v...I liked The Colors of Indian Cooking on Facebook via Jenne KopalekJennehttp://www.mooshujenne.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1669690575334803852.post-75691073770030022612012-04-26T14:25:06.913-07:002012-04-26T14:25:06.913-07:00I follow OXO on Twitter via @MooshuJenneI follow OXO on Twitter via @MooshuJenneJennehttp://www.mooshujenne.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1669690575334803852.post-74677196174025509012012-04-26T14:24:35.319-07:002012-04-26T14:24:35.319-07:00I follow you on Twitter via @MooshuJenneI follow you on Twitter via @MooshuJenneJennehttp://www.mooshujenne.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1669690575334803852.post-80735606229213214542012-04-26T14:23:16.753-07:002012-04-26T14:23:16.753-07:00I would use it to convert recipes from grams to cu...I would use it to convert recipes from grams to cups.Jennehttp://www.mooshujenne.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1669690575334803852.post-32895239505107299782012-04-26T13:15:49.850-07:002012-04-26T13:15:49.850-07:00Saladgoddess already following Oxo on Twitter.
