Gotta disagree there. I wouldn't bother with Black Forest anything as I have always thought they are just disgusting tasting things and not worth a second thought. HOWEVER, chocolate and raspberries are a match made in heaven. I still have fond memories of a spontaneously made chocolate log filled with fresh whipped and tons of fresh raspberries and smothered in ganache, that was whipped up by a chef at a restaurant for his friend and our host,a long, long time ago.

You need Kirschwasser to drench the sponges and you need to make a butter cream which is piped onto the bottom sponge in circles - in between those circles you lay the sour cherries . then comes the next sponge and the cream etc.

Jealousy is simply and clearly the fear that you do not have value.Jealousy scans for evidence to prove the point - that others will be preferred and rewarded more than you.There is only one alternative - self-value.If you cannot love yourself, you will not believe that you are loved.You will always think it's a mistake or luck.Take your eyes off others and turn the scanner within.Find the seeds of your jealousy, clear the old voices and experiences.Put all the energy into building your personal and emotional security.Then you will be the one others envy, and you can remember the pain and reach out to them.

Nobody has actually wrecked the cake! Just make your cake using the recipe you want to try (i.e., the masterclass one-but don't call it a Black Forest Cake). I did suggest earlier, that it looked like a very good cake. Or you can choose to make Black Forest Cake as I was taught by an Austrian pastry chef. It is just a chocolate genoise, soaked with kirsch, and with whipped cream and kirsch-macerated cherries between the layers. You then mask it with whipped cream and coat with shaved chocolate. Decorate with whipped cream and cherries.

Pickles, that Tamarind Sauce looks interesting. Do you use it as a flavour-enhancer in recipes, or does it go particularly well with some foods!

It stood proudly, by itself. I always use the solids, as a flavour enhancer. If I had a bottle of sauce, I would drop it off at your local bowling club for you. I am waiting for my next lot of malt vinegar to develop, to make another lot.

I've always thought they were disgusting, from the very first (and only time) I tried the genuine article when I was in Germany. It was way tooooo sweet for my tastes and I don't like sponge cake anyway - another over sweet concoction I have been able to live without all these years. My taste buds are just fine.

for the love of mike cooks. Stop raving. It looks like you are on something that is making you more pompous than normal. Take your meds and settle down petal.

If malice or envy were tangible and had a shape, it would be the shape of a boomerang.

Good grief - you have really lost it now cooks and ellie - go and check out your Xmas preps - and leave the poor Black Forest "Ghetto" alone.
This is getting beyond ridiculous even for your antics - merry xmas to you too!
