Healthy Eating 101

It's Fashion Week in London and the entire city is even more chic than normal. Of course I walked down Oxford Street today in my chef jacket covered in 3 different types of chocolate and had a lingering odor of a few different alcoholic flavorings, resulting from a couple unfortunate spillage incidents on my apron and tea towels. While Longchamp is designing the most trendy of Londoners this week, I am making a 'fashion statement' in the pastry world. Today was chocolate truffle day!

I came home with a entire box of these little guys. The first thing I did was start giving them away. The unfortunate thing about truffles is that they are indeed the perfect size to pop in your mouth and ganache with rum and caramel hardly qualifies for a healthy eating life-style.
