DELICIOUS TASTE: Chocolate Awards Announced for Best Toffee and Best White Chocolate
Toffee and White Chocolates may not first come to mind when you think of premium artisan chocolate, but they are definitely part of the category. More and more chocolatiers have found that both toffee and white chocolate can be made personally, with fresh ingredients, and using amazing flavor combinations.
With this in mind, TasteTV and the International Chocolate Salon have selected some of the top Toffees and White Chocolates from around the world. They come from the United States, Canada, Scandinavia, England, and other far flung sources. The results of the TOFFEE AWARDS and the WHITE CHOCOLATE AWARDS have been announced, and can be found at www.InternationalChocolateSalon.com

Fissler SensoRed Fry Pan Changes Color for Cooking
Some animals change color according to the temperature, and so does the Fissler SensoRed® Fry Pan. It gets darker to let you know it’s hot enough for cooking.
The Fissler SensoRed® Fry Pan is covered with dark freckles, and amazingly, when you heat up the pan you’ll know it is ready when the freckles disappear. Of course, some people might just ask, “Can’t I touch it to see if it’s hot?”, but the answer to that is obvious. NO!!!
Fortunately the German-engineers at Fissler have not only come up with a creative technology solution, but also a very usable 18/10 stainless steel pan that is both durable and has a non-stick surface.
They also say that the base of the pan is a key part of its effectiveness, “The bottom of the SensoRed pan guarantees perfect heat absorption, distribution, and storage and is very energy-efficient.”
Not just a recipe starter, the Fissler SensoRed is a great conversation starter.
