A Quince and Yorkshire Honey delight. Cocoa sable, quince cremeux, quince compote, honey gel, dehyrated quince sponge, milk chocolate mousse.  I’ve based my inspiration for #Taste around the seasonal orchard fruit Quince. Not something I normally would eat but I had a memorable quince dessert at a famous restaurant in Singapore. When I researched into quince I found some old roman recipes where they used honey with the quince. I’ve paired with some great milk chocolate.
