 Jesse Bakes a Cake
2 + 2 : two days to make, two days to eat
Do you remember that layered chocolate cookie with whipped cream frosting "cake" recipe that came with those round chocolate wafer cookies? The recipe was on the packaging. It really was a brilliant way to sell a whole package of cookies and, well, as a kid I really liked the way it tasted. What could be better than chocolate cookies slathered in milky whipped cream, and then all frozen together? Dinner!
Well, Jesse’s Chocolate Almond Mousse Cake Recipe is a bit more complex than the chocolate cookie roll cake I remember from childhood. But it is also much better. Much Better!
Jesse spent two half-days in our kitchen making this splendid cake. Not only was it fun to watch Jesse do his work, but we learned a lot as we went along. And the best part? We got to eat cake for two days afterward!
Jesse is a culinary graduate in baking -- and he has a magic touch when it comes to cakes. This recipe is perfect for a dinner party or an intimate dinner for two. It can be made a few days in advance and kept frozen in the cake ring until the day of the celebration when it can be defrosted and then decorated. Bring this cake to a party or share it with a few friends or colleagues.
If you look here you can see step-by-step photos of how Jesse used his creative process to decorate an already beautiful cake.
No matter how you eat it, even if you eat it all yourself, you and everyone else will be impressed by how amazing it looks and tastes!
We also wanted to let everyone know, Jesse, who has packed 90% of your boxes from almost the beginning, is making a big change; he is leaving “home” and going “home” to San Francisco. (if you need a baker...) And it’s not true that we kicked him out to the street because he is a 49ers fan, it’s just that we are a Seahawks company....
Go and have fun! Bake a Cake.

 Organic Chocolate!
Specialty Chocolate from Italy; est: 1946
Chocolate is good for you... really! At least that's what the experts say. Chocolate is a wonderful treat, some even think of it as a splurge. But did you know that it's also loaded with heart-healthy, skin-healthy, brain-healthy polyphenols - along with over 300 other chemical compounds, many of which are good for our bodies? (Click here for a list of some of the health-promoting compounds found in chocolate.)
Science explains the passion for cocoa this way: phenylethylamine = amphetamine, tryptophan = serotonin, and anandamide = cannabinoid ... all chemicals that result in a feeling of passion. Though, from what I can tell, the passion is for chocolate over all else ... perhaps it is the hidden passion...?
One of the great secrets in the kitchen is the ingredients that you use. And one of the secrets is a chocolate company in Northern Italy. Agostoni is a big company when it comes to chocolate. Though you might not know them by name, you most likely tasted something they have made. A big “private label” producer the family makes chocolate for many, many “name” brand companies.
Big in Chocolate, it’s a family run, family owned business from the beginning and still is. They use their “recipe” for the chocolates that have their label on it.
And when you make, bake and eat by the handful you will find one of the great secret ingredients.

Sweet as an Angel
Hot as the Devil!
This Cashew Brittle is addictive. It might be too hot for some, but others have glommed onto it like a butterfinger does to your teeth! (this doesn't do that)
It's one of my Aunt's all time favorites, she eats it and she gives it away! One box is just a little more than you can eat in a sitting. It's the perfect circle of food, protein and fiber encased in a sweet shell! A healthy snack … kind-of…
Cheers!
