NY Borough: The Bronx
Buckwheat Honey /15 Years old American Whiskey and Alunga™ milk chocolate ganache /Pecans and Roasted Buckwheat Praline.
Chocolate used: Alunga™ milk chocolate 41%.
Flavors: Buckwheat Honey /15 Years old American Whiskey and Alunga™ milk chocolate ganache /Pecans and Roasted Buckwheat Praline.
Inspirations: For the 50 Best event I created a Whisky Pecan Chocolate Bonbon. I was really inspired by the American prohibition era. If I could travel back in time, this would be the time period I would love to go to. During this time it was illegal to manufacture, transport and sell intoxicating liquors. There is something very intriguing to me about bootlegging, speakeasies and gangsters and I wanted to play with this idea and the flavor of whisky.
