The Mother of all Chocolate Sauces

If you've read about the arrival of Avanti Savoia's new catalog of Culinary Treasures and are anxious to try out the new recipes, here's a Fresh Idea from Avanti Savoia that will leave you with your mouth watering:

The Mother of all Chocolate Sauces

This sensational chocolate sauce will be a big hit with the chocolate lovers in the family.

Break three bars of Extra Fonente 61% Dark Chocolate – (Castagna #50015) in pieces. Combine the chocolate pieces with 1 cup of milk over a hot water bath. Stir the mixture continuously with a sauce whip. In a bowl mix 7 tsp. starch with 1 cup of milk and 7 Tbsp. sugar. Add the mix to the warm chocolate. Cook the sauce over a hot water bath continuing to stir with the whip until it’s lightly thick.

Serve hot over vanilla ice cream, fresh cheesecake, and other confections. Also try it as a topping for heated Pandoro slices – (Dociaria A. Loison #51590), delicious!

The Third Biannual TEN Show Now Accepting Entries

The TEN Show is a statewide AIGA design competition that gives Tennessee designers a chance to show off their best in visual communication solutions from the past year. This year's competition is being hosted by AIGA Memphis, but we'll give a nod to AIGA Knoxville for starting the event in 2005.

Entries will be submitted in 10 categories, including areas like packaging design, book design, website and interactive design, editorial design and more.

Tennessee is unique in that it has four AIGA chapters statewide, rivaled only by California and Florida. Thus, we take pride in collaborating on an event that distinguishes our state as a design breeding ground ready to be reckoned with (ya'll)! We're not the typical cities you may think of when considering breakthrough design, but we're making it happen. If you live in Tennessee and have a hot project to share, get on board and submit an entry. Deadline for entries is February 15, 2008.
