Matchmaker, Make Me a Batch

Autumn Martin Hot Cakes

Hello. We’ve found three profiles you might like.

Name: Josephine
Description: Courtesy of saucy Theo head chocolatier Autumn Martin, this short and sweet French financier is made with Bluebird Grain Farms flour, a touch of almond, and a nip of rum. Sucre bleu!

Name: Dean Martin
Description: Dates, humanely raised bacon, and blue cheese in a hot bread salad make this one savory, doll. That’s amore.

Name: Ari Cole
Description: Rich and dark, this molten hot hunk is part Ivory Coast, part Madagascar, all Theo. Take it home warm and gooey or bake it at your place in its decorative four-ounce Mason jar. Either way, you’ll get your lovin’ straight from the oven.

Wink, wink.

Available at the Ballard Farmers Market, Ballard Avenue Northwest, at 22nd Avenue (fremontmarket.com). Ari Cole available for take and bake at Theo Chocolate, 3400 Phinney Avenue North (206-632-5100 or theochocolate.com). For more information, go to autumnmartin.com.
