NOUGAT

Nougat is a typical sweet made in a town called Jijona, in Alicante. It is famous all around the Mediterranean and I think you can buy nougat in most countries.

Nougat is made with honey, almonds, sugar and egg white. It is very sweet and delicious! There are many types of nougat. In my country, Spain, people usually eat nougat at Christmas, but in summer people eat it on ice-cream too.

There is a nougat museum in Alicante, Spain. This museum exhibits all types of typical nougat, explains the process of making nougat and explains the history of the nougat.

Soon, I’m going to show you how to make this special sweet so that you and your family can enjoy some for Christmas.

CHOCOLATE COSMETIC TREATMENT

Some days ago, I was searching on the Internet for the uses of chocolate in cosmetics and I found that chocolate is very good for cosmetic treatments.

Many people have a chocolate treatment on their face or their body to improve their skin.

Chocolate treatment is very good to combat stress, anxiety or moodiness. Chocolate treatment is also a method used to help reduce cellulite, anti-stress, rejuvenation, slimming and firming because it has got more than 800 molecules with moisturizing agents, which can help with toning, regenerating and revitalizing of the skin. 

I think that I am going to a cosmetic shop to buy some chocolate treatments for myself.

150g milk chocolate

150g white chocolate

750ml milk

125g sugar

750ml liquid cream

3 packs of curd

60g butter

How to make it:

First of all, you have to crush the biscuits with a mortar. When they are all crushed, melt the butter and mix it with the crushed biscuits. Then put all this mixture in a cke tin.

Now you have to prepare the chocolate.  The first chocolate you have to put in is the dark chocolate. You must chop the chocolate, and put it into a cooking pot, with a glass of liquid cream and half a glass of milk, and let it simmer until it boils.  While you are waiting the mixture to boil, you must put a pack of curd into a glass with half a glass of milk.

When the mixture boiled, mix it with the mixture of milk and curd, and let it simmer again until it boils. Then put it on the biscuit already in the cake tin and do the same process with milk chocolate and white chocolate.

If you want to make your cake more beautiful, put some decorations on it.
