Podcast with the BBC
Making Sea Salt Caramel Chocolate Brittle with Rebecca Parker on BBC Radio Solent. I really enjoyed talking with Rebecca Parker from BBC Radio Solent about making chocolate on her show ‘The Kitchen Garden’. This gave us the chance to make the most out of listening to the sound of cracking chocolate - all part of the sensory experience! I explained how to temper chocolate and how to test the temperature of the melted chocolate. How do you think the best way is? Why not have a listen to the episode here to find out!
