  2. Intense Chocolate Bar With Healthy Cocoa Nibs, Seeds and Dried Fruits

Valentine cupcake

No simpler, yet more profound gesture than spoiling your loved ones on Valentine's Day with a wonderful cupcake. Getting the base right is the most difficult part - but with this recipe it can't go wrong. For the frosting, pastry chef Beverley Dunkley uses a strawberry-coloured and flavoured chocolate. That's chocolate and strawberry in one. Or would you call it true love?
