*This is a delectible light chocolate dessert which resembles a mousse in texture but tastes ever so much better with the biscuit base and smothered in whipped cream!*

180g plain biscuits (6 oz plain graham crackers)
80g (3oz) butter, melted
1/4 cup milk
100g (3 1/2 oz) white marshmallows, chopped
200g (7oz) milk chocolate, chopped
1 teaspoon gelatin
1 tablespoon cold water
300ml (10 1/2 oz) thickened cream (whipping cream), whipped
200ml (7oz) thickened cream (whipping cream), extra
shaved milk chocolate, to decorate

Process biscuits to crumbs. Combine with butter in a bowl. Mix well. Press into base of lightly greased 20cm (8") springform pan. Refrigerage for 30 minutes.
Heat milk, marshmallows and chocolate in a bowl over a saucepan of simmering water (or a double-boiler), stirring, until smooth. Remove. Combine gelatine and water in a heatproof cup. Stand cup in the saucepan of simmering water until gelatine is dissolved. Stir warm gelatine into warm chocolate mixture. Cool for 30 minutes.
Fold whipped cream through chocolate mixture. Pour over biscuit base. Cover and refrigerate for 4 hours, or until set.
Whip extra cream. Spread over bavarian. Top with chocolate shavings.

Serves 4. 20g (0.70oz) dried porcini mushrooms 1 cup boiling chicken stock 1.5kg (3.3lb) chicken (I used just chicken breast rather than a whole chicken - less fuss - and I had a bit less than this on hand; it was still great!) 50g (1.75oz) butter 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 medium onion, chopped 2 cloves garlic, crushed 150g (5.3oz) button mushrooms, sliced 1 1/2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh oregano 425g (15oz) can tomatoes 425g (15oz) can tomato puree Place porcini mushrooms in heatproof bowl, cover with boiling stock, stand 30 minutes.  Drain mushrooms, reserve stock, chop mushrooms. Cut thighs and legs from chicken.  S...
