You won't believe what your tastebuds are telling you!

This recipe brings back so many memories of when I lived in Buenos Aires, Argentina. It was there that I met my ex - wife Gabrielle when I was 22. I remember trying Dulce de Leche for the first time in the bakery next door to my apartment. In truth, it certainly wasn't love at first sight! It took me a while to get used to how sweet it was, something you have to get used to very quickly in Argentina as they literally put it in everything! However, after we got acquainted, I slowly realised that this was a relationship that was going to go the distance. Complimented by Dark Orange Chocolate, this mousse is my favourite way to enjoy Dulce de Leche. Great desert, great memories, great times.

Deep and hearty yet subtly delicate...

Not wishing to big myself up too much, but I'm pretty damn proud of this baby! Being a lover of hearty desserts, the Maqui Berry Crumble really gives this dish depth whilst the light Marmalade Chantilly ensures that the dish as a whole isn't overbearing. I've also touched on a piece of my childhood with this recipe, incorporating Rose Water infused Cacao Beans, a technique my father regularly used in the meals of my youth in Iran. This recipe makes me happy not just for the way it tastes but for the memories it evokes...I hope you enjoy making it as much as I did!

Lovers

by Rumi


O lovers, lovers it is time

to set out from the world.  

I hear a drum in my soul's ear

coming from the depths of the stars.

  

Our camel driver is at work;

the caravan is being readied.

He asks that we forgive him

for the disturbance he has caused us,

He asks why we travelers are asleep. 

 

Everywhere the murmur of departure;

the stars, like candles

thrust at us from behind blue veils,

and as if to make the invisible plain

a wondrous people have come forth.

Perfect for sharing or for individual indulgence...

We've already established what my feelings are around Valentine's Day. However, whether you are single and bashful (like me) or loved up to the nines, this pudding recipe is perfect... whatever the emotional weather!

Rich in texture, deep in flavour and full of warmly bitter chocolate, this pudding is firm and hearty yet still melts in the mouth. If you're an emotional eater then this will be right up your street. I created this recipe as a response to my own cravings for a sweet and rich pudding. It's perfect for sharing or for individual indulgence...though over-indulgence is probably closer to the mark :)

And by the way, I'm still offering a reward to our first five readers who post their image of this recipe as a comment or send it in to info@lovingearth.net. Just send it in and we'll send you Cacao Liquor, Cacao Powder and Dark Agave Nectar to help in stocking up your Loving Earth Raw Pantry!

Stunningly delicious...decadent but healthy!

I hate Valentines Day. I never really recovered from Rachel Robinson shunning me in the playground after sending her a much dwelled-upon romantic letter when I was 10. Rachel's indifference aside, I can still find one reason to get enthusiastic about Valentine's Day -  chocolate! The next eight recipes are centred around this one redeeming feature of Valentines Day and I want to invite you to embark on this journey with me. The first five people that send an image to info@lovingearth.net of sharing this recipe with their loved ones (no need for face images if you don't want to) will be sent a bar of Loving Earth Mylk Chocolate, Gubinge Powder, Maqui Berry Powder and Lacuma Powder to stock up your raw Loving Earth pantry! If only I'd had tricks like that up my sleeve when I was 10, it could all have been so different...
