Over Datum Eetclub 9

Chocolate Paradise with Erik Spande

1 Oca 2011

We triggered our feel-good chemicals during this week's Over Datum Eetclub. Next to the expired food on our plates, you could also find chocolate in every dish; sprinkled on top, melted into sauces, and rolled into desserts. Guided by our chocolate man, Erik Spande, we served all sorts of chocolate infused dishes.

The Dinner

The evening began with a small chocolate-tasting at which Erik let us taste three varieties of premium chocolate. He also brought cocoa nibs, which are the roasted cocoa beans which stand at the beginning of the chocolate production process. Placing chocolate at its purest form as the start of the night, these were served in the first course. The main course was a chocolate-stoaf, which we generously poured over our pasta and vegetables. We not only had yogurt and fruit as dessert but also an endless choice of chocolate-salamis, each one slightly different from the next. This was the most playful part of the night, with all the guests making their own salamis; choosing from white or dark chocolate and a cornacopia of sweets and dried fruits to add inside. Sweet, vegetarian and a perfect closure of our aphrodisiac night.
