Bitter Orange-Chocolate Soufflés
I learned to cook by watching Jacques Pépin and then cooking A LOT in my kitchen, as I didn’t go to cooking school. These simple soufflés with my spin of annatto and bitter orange are easy to make and, if you are worried about timing, you can cook them ahead, let them settle–they will deflate as they cool–and serve them warm.
