    Yes to vanilla & cardamom. Rachel Allen has a good recipe for white chocolate ganache with cardamom.

    Chile & cocoa...hmm... I tried the recipe in the Avoca 2 cookbook wtih chocolate added and it didn't really do anything for me. But I suppose chilli flavoured chocolate is good.

    Bernd Flemming, who gained his Michelin star at the Restaurant Français in Frankfurt, now runs a food development consultancy. He says: "The cocoa has a special flavour. We always think chocolate is something to do with sweetness but cocoa is a spice like vanilla or chilli. We use it as a spice for example in the Mexican mole dish. And like a spice, used in the quantities of a spice or condiment, chocolate balances the taste between sweet ingredients and spicy ingredients. It doesn't really change the texture."

    Chili Chocolate is absolutely delicious.

    Anyone watching Willies Wonky Chocolate Factory at the moment?
