I do love Monsieur Truffe Such nice guys in there too. And the croissants are incredible.

Very intrigued about this 100% cocoa business too.

What a delicious blog – although reading on an empty stomach is not a good idea.

Off to make a hot chocolate

Big word existential.

Wots this about you moving to the dark side though? Jackson St. wont be the same. I’ve always thought Smith St. Grunge was a bit more deliberate (faux?) than StKilda – I’m not sure you’re pretensious enough to last over there Ed! Sure you’ll be back in Sunny StKilda by the Solstice.
PS Equinox next week. 1st full moon after the equinox is the 4th. The old pagan festival of Oestrus, goddes of fertility – a time to give eggs as a symbol of fertility and to eat the last of the fruits you preserved for Winter…..and Chocolate

Hi Ed,
Sounds amazing. I have had a massive chocolate addiction for the past few weeks. I’m talking half a block a night. I alternate between white and 70% dark.
Anyhow, nice to meet you at sister bella’s last night. Cheers for the advice. Our little melbourne music nucleus is at northofantarctica.blogspot.com

Have you tried the night time selection that’s just started up at Monsieur Truffe? Pierre Roelofs from Interlude, The Deanery, etc, is doing ‘desserts’. I went last night, desserts doesn’t really do it justice. Flirting with the savoury and the weird (yeast, carrot, eucalypt…), plenty of acid and aromatics gives crispness, but with enough sweetness to carry… and to justify the dessert classification. Not heavy, but satisfying. Put another way, bloody unreal. I haven’t had food that interesting for a long time, and I’m really not a dessert person 9 times out of 10.

Yoghurt froth with granny smith, granny smith granita and toasted cous-cous: win!

It was a very good hot chocolate indeed.

Now…The Wire.

I haven’t tried the hot chocolate of Monsieur Truffe, but my best hot chocolate experience was at Cafe Vue. A bit pricey at 6$ but oh so yum. That’s what I call a real hot chocolate!

Wow, that works out to be quite pricey.

Is that a chocolate motif on the side of the Monsieur Truffe hot chocolate glass?
