I love profiteroles and this chocolate and raspberry combination looks and sounds divine!! It's a shame the first ones didnt work out but I'm so glad your persevered otherwise we would have missed this amazing creation. I've not made choux pastry for a long while - might be time to revisit it.

What could I change next time? Or simply just trying to think how I could adapt and improve on something. <br /><br />Anyways, thanks and I'm glad you like them. I find a big old dollop of chocolate ganache can help in many ways ;) Susie @ Fold in the Flourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17431576411095585453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-600201185207533799.post-89767020915182786432012-10-01T20:57:04.106+00:002012-10-01T20:57:04.106+00:00Wow - chocolate and orange would be a glorious com...Wow - chocolate and orange would be a glorious combination.

I thought it was a brilliant idea to have chocolate choux but I would be intrigued to see another recipe for comparison, just to see if the ratio of cocoa was right. <br /><br />Ah, I'll have to look out for the Cloud crockery - they are incredibly cute and the curves look gloriously tactile. :)Susie @ Fold in the Flourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17431576411095585453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-600201185207533799.post-59476767187760747012012-10-01T17:25:39.371+00:002012-10-01T17:25:39.371+00:00Had a cookbook recipe fail last week for a post I ...Had a cookbook recipe fail last week for a post I was doing...gotta love when that happens(or something like that).

And thanks ...Hi Camilla - thanks for your patience! And thanks for your comment. I know exactly what you mean - I think it's just as important to point out when things don't work as when they do. I always try and figure out what I could do to try and make it work though, and can get a bit rambly then. But I hate it when you have shelled out for a fairly expensive cookery book and there is something wrong with the recipe, or even typos in a crucial place that affect the whole thing.<br /><br />(Oh dear, I feel one of my pet rants coming on. Better stop now!)<br /><br />Anyway, thanks for your lovely comment - much appreciated. So glad you like the blog! :)Susie @ Fold in the Flourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17431576411095585453noreply@blogger.com
