  • Absolutely Deep Dark Chocolate Fudge Cookies: Cookbook Review

    Absolutely Deep Dark Chocolate Fudge Cookies: Cookbook Review

    These cookies were made by Chef Marcel Desaulniers for The Trellis: Cafe, Restaurant & Grill.

    Zoe’s Take:
    8/10

    I love a good cookie. If it’s an all chocolate cookie, even better. So when we saw this recipe in The Great Chefs of America Cook Kosher, we had to try it. It’s a good cookie. It might even be a great cookie, but it’s not a 10/10, 5 star amazing cookie because it didn’t live up to the fudge bit. When a cookie describes itself as fudge, I expect melty chocolate chips and a richness. These cookies spread out quite a bit for me and were huge and got a little crunchy. Don’t get me wrong, I still like crunchy cookies, it was just not what I was expecting. Oh well.

    Eric’s Take:
    9/10

    These cookies are VERY good! Super chocolatey and decadent. I thought this recipe was relatively easy to follow. There were a lot of steps and they were blocked in large paragraphs. There were also a lot of timed steps with mixing. I really liked these cookies, but the lost point was with the directions. Because of the steps being a bit confusing it led to inconsistent results between Zoe and my cookies.

  • Gregg’s Death by Chocolate Cake!

    Gregg’s Death by Chocolate Cake!

    It’s National Cake Day, and instead of making you a cake, I decided to bring you a piece of one of my favorite types of cake. In Rhode Island, there is an establishment called Gregg’s. It’s been around since 1972. Gregg’s home style desserts and pastries are award winning and don’t just taste good, they also look good.

    While they have an extensive menu ranging from Apple Pie to Turtle Cheesecake, my ultimate favorite is their Death by Chocolate Cake. It’s an extreme version of a chocolate layer cake. Death by Chocolate Cake is 6 layers and covered with tiny chocolate chips. The frosting in between layers is thick and even, with chocolate roses on the top.

    This cake is so incredibly rich, that eating the full piece they serve you is very hard, even for me. 6 layers of cake is one thing, with the added 6 layers of frosting and chocolate morsels… forget about it. I was given an entire Death by Chocolate Cake for my birthday last year. It took about a month to eat the whole thing, and my kitchen smelled like chocolate and pastries for 6 months after that.

    I definitely recommend trying one of their cakes or pies if you’re going to be in Rhode Island at all. They’re easy to find, and the locations are everywhere. And if you happen to get some Death by Chocolate Cake and survive… let me know!
