The real output of any cooking class rests on what inspiration you get out of it.

I have a very nice chocolate cooking book, but it's in German, and one day I'll start using it, the truffle cake was one from Martha Stewart. I really like the idea of doing some of this stuff manually, it's like climbing to the top of a mountain instead of taking the cable car. You get to the same place but one is more fulfilling. On the other hand, if you don't have time to spend whisking, and there are many things better than sitting and whisking, the idea of getting a mixer also sounds like a good idea.

You know how to make truffles????? You are definitely testing them out on me next time we are in the same country. And I hear you on the whisk by hand thing. We didn't bring a mixer or food processor to Boston (or even a whisk) and making things like cream cheese frosting definitely results in a workout. I can't even imagine attempting to whisk eggs. It makes me feel a little better about making cookies since you actually have to work for it. Oh my god! You know how to make truffles?????
