Comments
I enjoyed the discussion with Chef Viestad. I was intrigued with the idea that pepper could enhance the flavor of chocolate, so I made a batch of chocolate chip cookies last night. He was RIGHT--the cookies tasted more chocolate-y!
Thanks for such a great variety of guests. You must really enjoy planning for these wonderful interviews!
