Recipes
We have cut through the clutter of the millions of recipes sites on the internet (most of which are just horrible pop-up ad sites) and selected quality recipes sites that you will find very useful. Many offer online videos for their recipes. In addition, please check out our Food411 Blog, where our very own Chef Silvia has added recipes and we also post a few of the Q&A's that are submitted to "Ask Chef Silvia". Wonderful recipes can also be found in our food blog section.

Chocolate Cravings
truffle truffle
Handcrafting the "classics" with a twist. Truffles with flavors such as coconut key lime, pinot and cupcake..."beer & pretzel brittle": toffee infused with stout covered in chocolate and sprinkled with salty pretzels! "s'mores" using shortbread cookies and infused marshmallow covered in chocolate: we loved the strawberry basil. Caramels that combine sweet and savory. You will taste the "love" that is put into each of these outstanding bites!
