Comments on: Not Quite Nigella Turns 2 & We Celebrate With A Tobie Puttock & Ferrero Rondnoir Competition! http://www.notquitenigella.com/2009/09/16/not-quite-nigella-turns-2-we-celebrate-with-a-tobie-puttock-ferrero-rondnoir-competition/ The slightly eccentric eating, cooking and travel adventures of a Sydney girl who loves cakes, cooking, Nigella Lawson and eating. She eats, breathes and dreams food and indeed will never get cable TV as she'd quit working and watch the Food Channel all day long.

You've inspired me to be a foodie at 15 years of age! My favourite way to use dark chocolate is to mix it with a bit of cream in the pan, chill it, and shape it into decadent truffle balls, filled with nuts for some and infusing with some wicked cinnamon and chilli for the others. Assorting these into tins and giving to friends for parties is the way to go! Hi NQN,

And thanks again for all your wonderful work NQN - in the past month or so alone your reviews and suggestions have taken me to Wasavie, Plan B, the Bourke St Bakery (multiple times),the Uighur restuarant at Haymarket, Bills, Deus Cafe, Le Grand Cafe ... I can't even remember but all I know is that I now rely on you when I want to dine out in Sydney! Fantastic work :) One decadent way to eat dark chocolate is to buy it by the kilo from Lindt – it comes in large bricks which I’ll leave out on the chopping board with a large knife alongside, ready for quick consumption.

I've found a recipe and once my uni semester is over I am going to try it out. And I must say, this blog is my must-visit site everyday. I look up to receiving the subscription email in my inbox everyday! I've shared it with my foodie friends and they've all caught on. I love flourless chocolate cake!

I only started reading a few months, but embarrassingly have read almost your entire back catalogue - the fact that I should be studying certainly helps! Anyway, my favourite use of dark chocolate is melting it and dipping beautifully fresh strawberries in :) Happy Birthday!

Happy 2 Years! I've only just recently discovered NQN but am loving it! As for dark chocolate, my favourite way to use it would have to be in a fabulous torta caprese. Instead of blitzing the chocolate, I love to incorporate both fine and chunky bits to add extra texture and dark chocolate-y deliciousness! I also like to use hazelnuts and and a bit of cardamom along with the usual ground almonds as they both go oh so well with the chocolate! Mmmm cake... Yay! Happy 2 Years!

She really like it and was surprised by how well it turned out. Since we have very similar tastes when it comes to food, this recipe is on my to-do list and I'll definitely be adding lots of dark chocolate into the recipe and for the garnishing!
