Chocolate Gilato, in a word "Balance"....


To answer if I could recommend a dessert that would follow the Bistecca Arabiatta well that is filled with the chocolate experience so many love, I offer this. I believe in simplicity when it comes to dessert after a meal filled with complex flavors, just something to round out the experience. Spicy followed with chocolate does well, as does something cool on the palette such as Chocolate Gilato with curls of shaved chocolate, dusted with just a hint of coarse Sea Salt.  This may sound too simple and not original but trust me your palette will sing with satisfaction.
All to often I find dessert complicates and ruins a Grand Gastronomical affair adding a heaviness that sits with you for hours. One very wise chef years ago said one word to me I hold to heart to this day, "Balance".
