Dear Uncle,
I love your website of course, and you’ve helped me before. I check into it weekly
and so enjoy reading the site. Thank you.
I am searching for a particular chocolate bombe recipe. I checked your pages, but
I could not find the one I wanted. It’s VERY chocolatey, and I got it years ago
from a paperback Julia Child cookbook. (I think the cover was primarily red.)
There was a three chocolate bombe, but the name of the recipe was in French—
something like Bombe au Trois Chocolat. The center of the dessert was a chocolate
mousse. The mousse was covered with a brownie layer. (I think J. Child gave credit
to a 12-year-old girl for developing that part of the recipe.) The concoction was
covered in a melted chocolate of some sort. I’ve lost my copy of the recipe, but
would very much like to make it for a chocolatophile friend.
Can you help me once again?
I hope you’re having a lovely June.
Sincerely,
Virginia
