We once served Tonka Ice Cream in a fine dining restaurant kitchen until someone called the Health Department! It was absolutely delicious and unusual. Beautiful photos, as always!

Sounds like a great way to end a warm evening of trick-or-treating. We had a wet and rainy Halloween here, so I'm a bit envious.
Very interesting info on the tonka bean. I had actually never heard of it before so I'm finding it fascinating. Thanks for sharing!!

I cannot wait to get her book - she's definitely good people, so seeing her success is just too much fun. And now I have another use for my tonka beans - I keep forgetting I have them in the back of my baking pantry!

these look delicious :)

The wontons look delicious! Jaden's book is definitely on the wish list now. It was very interesting reading about tonka beans (never encountered them before).

Helen, when I read articles like your post here, I am reminded why I bake.

I am totally addicted to baking books, and I probably do spend all my spare change on them. I love each and every single one. I think you put it so well about the motivation to read through a book. For me, sometimes it's simply the photographs. Or the story. Or the education. Or simply, to find a recipe. Sometimes, it's a combination of all these things.

Then I remember how something so potentially simple, a dessert, a bread, a cake, a biscuit, is really so much more than that. It's a constant source of inspiration. A constant source of enjoyment. There is always something new to learn.

I love the fact there are people, like yourself, that share so much about baking. About one of the biggest joys in my life.

2009-11-08T20:22:46.963-05:00

Yum! Those looks great. You know I just made shortbread in class and it called for both vanilla and almond extracts - perhaps the original recipe contained tonka bean?

I got my copy of Jaden's book yesterday and I can't wait to cook from it. So many sticky notes in bookmarked pages already. This is perfect for this Sunday afternoon!

I want to be as good as you! You are one great photographer.

Hey that's really nice posted something with tonka beans... I was considering using them for a dish at my birthday party last year, but then I didn't dare after all the reading I did in the internet. Besides, you can not buy them where I live, and no one seems to know what they are. But now I'll order them and experiment for sure!

I grew up helping my mom make wontons for dinner and easily finished lots of them in a sitting. I think this chocolate version will go the same way too! thanks for sharing this and tempting me to get a copy of the cookbook ;)

You have some lucky neighborhood kids. I would have loved it if someone served this on Halloween when I was growing up. They look delicious!
