Calling all chocoholics: whether you're team dark chocolate or team white, this ganache recipe has your sweet tooth covered in luxe perfection.
1 pound semisweet dark chocolate or sweet white chocolate, broken into 1-inch pieces
1/2 pint heavy cream
Place the chocolate and cream in a heavy saucepan over moderate heat. Stirring constantly, cook only until the mixture is warm and most of the chocolate has melted.
Remove from the heat and continue stirring until the chocolate has completely melted and the ganache mixture is smooth.
Pour the ganache through a strainer into a bowl and let it cool to room temperature before using; it should not be warm to the touch.
Thoroughly mix the ganache before using; do not refrigerate or it will set. It can be kept at room temperature, covered, for 2 days.

Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
This Italian cheese is so versatile that it can be used in both sweet and savory recipes from cheesecakes to lasagnas.
Beer makes batters better, meat more tender, and sauces more flavorful.
