I had already been cooking for many years but when I took away the usual constraints» of how I put a dish together around a piece of meat or fish I began cooking in a totally different way, focusing on
flavour, texture, colour and layering
flavours, citrus and spices to create
amazing joyful satisfying food, led by the new
amazing way I felt but also my
deep love of food and the knowledge I'd gained through years in the kitchen.
I filled the cake with nutella ganache, which is just a dark chocolate ganache with added nutella, I did this rather than just using plain nutella as I wanted a slightly
deeper chocolate
flavour, the ganache is also slightly firmer and more stable (and tastes
amazing), you can just use plain nutella if you prefer though.
