Biting into a box of Denouement chocolate bonbons is a journey. In eating the luxurious box of sweets, you’ll traverse the globe through the unique combinations of flavors and ingredients artfully combined by San Diego writer and chocolatier Barbarella Fokos. Fly to Thailand through tasting the Pantai Thai Tea-infused white chocolate. Walk along the cobblestone streets of Austria with the Ischler Törtchen filled with raspberry jam and toasted hazelnuts.

After years of locals telling me to try them, I finally gave it a go and realized my grave mistake in resisting for so long.

You may be seeing plump figs growing on trees in your neighborhood, or the special fig and gorgonzola pizza at Blind Lady Ale House this week, which can only mean one thing. It’s finally fig season. With their intriguing flavor that combines notes of honey, berry, caramel and flowers, figs are one of my favorite ingredients to use in cocktails.
