Last night
Homemade London hosted a chocolate truffle workshop and twelve of us were lucky enough to be invited by the
Great British Chefs as part of the chocolate week celebrations. I recipe tested three of the Great British Chefs app recipes back in July, you can read about it
here. The chocolate truffle recipe chosen for last nights workshop was from Martin Whishart Armagnac ganache truffles from the Great British Chefs app and expertly adapted by Nicola @HomemadeLondon. As you can image it was a delicious night! Nicola and her lovely staff made us feel at home at her beautiful and relaxing place right in the heart of London. A piece of heaven in the middle of the madness of Marble Arch area. We started the night with a glass of fizz and introductions. Next we were directed downstairs and paired to make the truffles.
