Welcome to a little slice of culinary heaven where we share photos of our favorite dishes, from savory succulent sausages to delicious and delectable desserts. Made it yourself? We'd love to hear your recipe!

Rules:

1. BE KIND

Food should bring people together, not tear them apart. Think of the human on the other side of the screen, and don't troll, harass, engage in bigotry, or otherwise make others uncomfortable with your words.

2. NO ADVERTISING

This community is for sharing pictures of awesome food, not a platform to advertise.

3. NO MEMES

4. PICTURES SHOULD BE OF FOOD

Preferably good, high quality pictures of good looking grub; for pictures of terrible food, see !shittyfoodporn@lemmy.ca

I use the hard plastic moulds, having tried the soft ones. I took a chocolate course from Pascal Pouchon who taught me two things. Freeze in between for a minute or two. So, pour into the mould, pour out by suspending upside down in a bowl, scrape excess chocolate off into self-same bowl, freeze for a minute or two, fill, then use the excess chocolate to cover the bottoms. Then freeze again. The second thing helps with the bowl, a heat gun from the DIY store helps keep the chocolate above in the right temperature zone.
