- .RZ "CHOCOLATE TRUFFLES IV" "Very simple chocolate truffles"
- I found this recipe in the flight magazine for a trip from London
- to Vienna.
- I think Vienna is probably the best place in the world for cakes and
- sweets.
- Whatever you do, never go to Vienna if you are on a diet.
- This is also the only recipe I have ever collected that is in cups
- rather than grams!
