Why Chocolate Feels So Good ... It's All Down To Lubrication

  Date: January 13, 2023 Source: University of Leeds Summary: Scientists have decoded the physical process that takes place in the mouth when a piece of chocolate is eaten, as it changes from a solid into a smooth emulsion that many people find totally irresistible. By analyzing each of the steps, the interdisciplinary research team hope it will lead to the development of a new generation of luxury chocolates that will have the same feel and texture but will be healthier to consume. During the moments it is in the mouth, the chocolate sensation arises from the way the chocolate is lubricated, either from ingredients in the chocolate itself or from saliva or a combination of the two. Fat plays a key function almost immediately when a piece of chocolate is in contact with the tongue. After that, solid cocoa particles are released and they become important in terms of the tactile sensation, so fat deeper inside the chocolate plays a rather limited role and could be reduced without having

Vegan Chocolate Custard Recipe

  Ingredients: 4 level tablespoons/60ml corn flour 6 tablespoons/75g/90ml white sugar 2 cups/500ml milk substitute 1 cup/225ml water 5 tablespoons/37.5g/75ml cocoa 1 teaspoon/5ml vanilla extract Add all ingredients to a saucepan and whisk vigorously until completely combined and smooth without lumps. Place the saucepan on the stove on low-medium heat, continue to whisk frequently for about 10 minutes until it slowly brought to the boil. Be careful that the custard does not stick to the bottom of the saucepan. Take off the heat at this point (It will have thickened but will still be easy to pour). Allow to sit for 10 minutes to allow to thicken if eating hot or pour into a bowl or ramekin and refrigerate for at least 3 hours until completely set. The set consistency will be similar to a soft jelly. private chefs and event catering Palm Beach + Boca Raton + Fort Lauderdale + Miami Beach info@yadachef.com | 954-367-YADA (9232) 561-285-7466 www.yadachef.com south florida catering and pers

Cobb Salad Recipe

I like to dress the salad in advance. Too many people drown the salad, obscuring any subtle taste you get with proper dressing. If you do dress the salad it is important to serve it immediately or the ingredients will wilt and get soggy. Everything can be prepared and arranged in advance. Toss the salad after presenting it to the table. Serves 4-6 1 head iceberg lettuce, chopped (about 2 cups/450ml) 1 small head of chicory, chopped (about 1 cup/225ml) 1 heart of romaine, chopped (about 1 cup/225ml) 1 bunch watercress, leaves picked and chopped (about 1 cup/225ml) 2 beefsteak tomatoes, peeled seeded, diced*, divided in half 1 avocado, diced (sprinkled with lemon juice to prevent browning) divided in half 3 hard boiled eggs, diced, divided in half 8 pieces crispy bacon, diced 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced, divided in half 2 green onions, diced ¼ cup/2 ounces/60 grams crumbled bleu cheese ¼ cup lemon juice ½ cup olive oil 1 teaspoon/5ml dijon mustard ½ teaspoon/2ml sea salt

Almond Milk Recipe

The best homemade almond milk recipe you'll ever make! Ingredients 1   cup/243g   raw whole almonds 4   cups/950ml   filtered water (plus more for soaking overnight) Instructions Add almonds to a bowl and cover with enough water to submerge. Soak 6-8 hours or overnight. This helps them soften enough so that they can blend properly. In the morning, drain almonds from their soaking water and rinse them in a colander. Add soaked almonds and 4 cups of fresh filtered water to a high-powered blender.  Blend on high speed for 1 minute, adding 30 seconds more if you feel it necessary to blend. Place your nut milk bag over a large bowl or pitcher. Pour the almond milk into the bag and strain the liquid into the bowl, using your hands to wring out all of the milk. Pour the almond milk from the bowl into glass jars. Almond milk will keep in the fridge for up to a week, if not longer. If it separates, simply shake the jars. Recipe Notes Don’t toss the nut pulp -- it can be used to make homemad
