I have been reading Wild. Jay Griffiths's travels are facinating, her book beautifully written and her indictment of us all searing.
The recipe is for very dark chocolate mousse without cream. Taste to make sure it is sweet enough for you. Stir egg into melted chocolate as soon as possible to prevent raw egg taste. Serve with tangy fruit like cherries or raspberries and thick cream.

50g butter
200g dark chocolate
