Experts may say sauerkraut has more pleasure-boosting chemicals than chocolate. But for Valentine's Day we're sticking with these easy chocolate recipes to set the mood for love. Plus a recipe from L.A. chef Jonathan Whitener, who died this week at 36.
'What food carries a heavier burden of expectation and cliché than chocolate?' That's a question asked in a 2001 Valentine's Day story by Charity Ferreira, a former L.A. Times Test Kitchen intern who went on to become a pastry chef at Greens in San Francisco, staff writer of Sunset magazine, editor in chief of Yoga Journal and author of several cookbooks.
'There's no better meeting place for forks and spoons than the cream-filled center of a chocolate baba — a tender, subtly chocolate brioche soaked with rum syrup,' wrote Charity Ferreira in her chocolate story for L.A. Times Food in 2001. 'These cream-filled, rum-soaked chocolate brioche are baked in 6-ounce ramekins, which makes them larger than traditional babas. The babas can be baked a day ahead, but don’t soak or fill them until a few hours before serving.
