For cocoa powder, Scharffenberger cocoa is really good. Ditto on the unsweetened chocolate. Vahlrona is fantastic too but both of these are spendy. Callebaut is a good, all around chocolate and not that expensive.

You need good quality chocolate for low-carb desserts because there is no sugar or flour to cover up any graininess or harsh tones.

My current favourite cocoa powder is Cadbury's, from England. I talked a bit about it in this thread. I get it at a South African grocery store here and it's the only place I've ever seen it in Vancouver. It tastes like British Cadbury's chocolate bars.

Karen,

I want to order some of the really good chocolate from this website ; http://www.chocolate.co.uk/index.ph...863f154206393fd. In LC baking, should i go for 100 % solid cocoa block??? I think it should be lowest in carb.

thanks,

CT

Yes, that would contain no sugar.
