COOKING WITH CHOCOLATE The history of chocolate, cooking with chocolate, and general info on chocolate WHAT IS THE HISTORY OF CHOCOLATE ? In 600 A.D. the Mayans migrated into the northern regions of South America, establishing the earliest known cocoa plantations in the Yucatan. It has been argued that the Mayans had been familiar with cocoa several centuries prior to this date. They considered it a valuable commodity, used both as a means of payment and as units of calculation. Mayans and Aztecs took beans from the "cacao" tree and made a drink they called "xocoatl." Aztec Indian legend held that cacao seeds had been brought from Paradise and that wisdom and power came from eating the fruit of the cacao tree. The word "chocolate" is said to derive from the Mayan "xocoatl"; cocoa from the Aztec "cacahuatl." The Mexican Indian word "chocolate" comes from a combination of the terms choco ("foam") and atl ("water"); early chocolate was only consumed in beverage form. Christopher Columbus is said to have brought back cacao beans to King Ferdinand from his fourth visit to the New World, but they were overlooked in favor of the many other treasures he had found. Chocolate was first noted in 1519 when Spanish explorer Hernando Cortez visited the court of Emperor Montezuma of Mexico and took back three treasure chests of beans back to Spain.. American historian William Hickling's History of the Conquest of Mexico (1838) reports that Montezuma" took no other beverage than the chocolatl, a potation of chocolate, flavoured with vanilla and spices, and so prepared as to be reduced to a froth of the consistency of honey, which gradually dissolved in the mouth and was taken cold." The fact that Montezuma consumed his "chocolatl" in goblets before entering his harem led to the belief that it was an aphrodisiac.

Sauces, Dips, Spreads Chocolate Beet Cake Alisa Bangerter - Author of Sweet Surprises for the Holidays Presented: 02/22/2000 This is a very moist and delicious chocolate cake. The "secret ingredient" of beets is what makes this cake so moist. 1 can (15 oz.) whole beets, drained (save juice) 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar 1 cup oil 1/2 cup juice from beets 3 eggs 1 teaspoon vanilla 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour 3 squares (1 oz. each) unsweetened chocolate, melted Sift together salt, baking soda, and flour. Set aside. Place beets in blender jar and puree. Add sugar, oil, and beet juice to beets and blend. Add eggs and vanilla. Blend well. Pour the beet mixture into a mixing bowl and add the dry ingredients. Mix well on medium speed for approximately one minute. Stir in melted chocolate. Pour batter into two greased and floured 8- or 9-inch round cake pans. Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let cool. Frost with your favorite chocolate frosting and decorate top with chocolate curls if desired. To make chocolate curls: Melt semi-sweet chocolate chips or semi-sweet baking squares in the microwave. Invert a baking sheet and spread the chocolate in a thin layer over the sheet. Let set in refrigerator until chocolate is set but not hard. Take a spatula and scrape the chocolate from the pan to create a curl. The curls will be as wide as the spatula used. If the chocolate breaks let it soften at room temperature. If it is too soft, return to the refrigerator for a few more minutes. When you have the right consistency you will be able to create beautiful chocolate curls. Place a pile of curls on the cake and lightly dust with powdered sugar.

Vacations / Travel Cooking with Chocolate TIPical Mary Ellen : Episode TIP-432 For a tasty treat at movie time, drizzle melted chocolate over plain popcorn. Stir the popcorn and let it cool for about 30 minutes. Field reporter Joe Lovitt visits with cooking expert Claudia Sutherland, who shares some ideas for cooking with chocolate. White chocolate is more difficult to work with when making candies. Be careful to closely monitor the heat, as overheating white chocolate will cause it to seize up. Always look for cocoa butter on the ingredient list when buying chocolate candies to cook with. Semi-sweet chocolate chips work best. Begin by melting chocolate in a double boiler. Despite the name, do not heat the water in the bottom of the boiler to the boiling point. This will scorch the chocolate. Use hotbut not boilingwater. Add a few tablespoons of vegetable oil to the chocolate to give it a nice shiny coat. A microwave is another good way to melt chocolate, and it's easier than using a double boiler. Place chocolate chips in a glass dish and top with two or three tablespoons of vegetable oil. Set the microwave to defrost, or 30 percent power, and heat the chocolate for two minutes. Stir and heat until melted, stirring every two minutes and keeping a close watch on the chocolate.
