Follower Friday: Chocablog

by Amy on December 10, 2010 in Follower Friday

Follower Friday is a Meme I decided to create to elaborate on the Twitter tradition of #ff to recognize one of my wonderful Social Network followers every Friday! If you would like to participate in Follower Friday just snag the button from my sidebar and make sure to link it to En Chocolat!

This week for Follower Friday I am spotlighting @chocablog !

The entire team over at chocablog.com are a group of people I would be quite happy sharing a desert island with – provided that there were enough chocolate to go around…perhaps we should make it a dinner party instead, I could possibly restrain myself from chocolate thievery for a few hours but an infinite amount of time stranded on an island – things could get ugly.  I admit that I am rather partial to Dom and Simon, after all they are English and we have to stick together. That said they also have a way of presenting chocolate with short, concise descriptions that leave you with an actual craving for something you have never tasted before in your life. 

What do I love about Chocablog? I love the sheer selection of chocolate that the review team present and often when I’m looking for something new to try I’ll hop over there and pick through their recommended chocolates. Not only does the Chocablog team review chocolates but they also share chocolate recipes (WITH PICTURES) that will lead to you trying your hand at baking even if you are the most unaccomplished baker in the world. A couple of my favorite recipes from Chocablog are the Chocolate and Berry Dessert Bread and the Chocolate Liqueur Mousse. Chocablog also has a feature that I absolutely love called “Chocophile” where they track down chocoholic celebs and interview them about their favorite chocolate indulgences!

If you have a moment pay Chocablog a visit or find them on Twitter and let them know that you’re headed over to check out their chocolaty adventures! Don’t forget to check out those recipes either, they make ideal go to plans for fancy dinner parties or just a night in with friends.

This week for Follower Friday I am spotlighting @PachecoPatty!

For today’s follower Friday I am picking Pacheco Patty from Patty’s Food. Patty is a  lover of baking just like me and she chronicles her baking and other food endeavors over at her blog in both words and pictures. Patty doesn’t just bake but you know me and my sweet tooth, I fully admit to only dropping by for the sweets! Patty lives out in California and has been keeping up with her foodie blog since March of 2009.

What do I love about Patty’s blog? Again, for me it’s all about the sweets! I adore baking even when it doesn’t incorporate chocolate! Patty not only provides her readers with recipes or pictures of the final product either, she almost always includes pictures of the baking (or cooking) process. I find it extremely useful when bloggers utilize this practice because quite honestly even skilled bakers have that niggling moment when they wonder “is this supposed to look like this?” and providing pictures like Patty does really helps with that reassurance! Some of my favorite recipes from Patty’s blog are her banana yeast bread, lemon buttermilk rhubarb bunt cake, and her port ganache glazed brownies with dried cherries!

If you are on the lookout for some great and fun recipes to give your next party a boost go and check out Patty’s blog and pick out one of her delicious (and well illustrated) recipes! If you’re not much of a cook or a baker why not just pay Patty a visit on Twitter and say hello anyway!
