Melbourne chock-full of shops for cocoa nuts
MELBOURNE'S love of the humble cocoa bean has come of age, with gourmet chocolate shops, cafes and even bars springing up all over the city. The traditional Easter Bunny jostled for position alongside chilli chocolate truffles and "enrobed" pralines in tastefully lit shop windows across Melbourne's CBD. Chocoholic Tours founder Suzie Wharton has been tasting the local wares for 13 years and said there had been a marked increase in the number of stores selling handmade and high-end chocolates. "Chocoholics have always been there but they haven't been catered for by many companies," Mrs Wharton said. Ten years ago speciality chocolate shops were thin on the ground, with Haigh's Chocolates, Ernest Hillier, Newman's Chocolate and Darryl Lea the only places to get a fix, she said.
Marlyn Monette: Baton Rouge cook delivered stylish food, big ...
While browsing through my cookbooks recently, I came across one of my favorites I would love to share with you -- "Too Good to be True," written by my late friend Chet Beckwith, of Baton Rouge. Besides this memorable cookbook, Chet also wrote a food and entertainment column for Baton Rouge's InRegister magazine for many years and was a colorful personality in the area.
In the early days, after moving to south Louisiana from Houston, Chet was long known as a master of fashion, serving as general manager and buyer for Goldrings in Baton Rouge for 20 years before opening his own boutique, CheBeck, which he owned and operated for 10 years. It wasn't until after retirement Chet had time to indulge his first passion, cooking, and he went on to make a name for himself as a gourmet cook.
