    Tips

    • Cacao butter is an edible vegetable fat from the cocoa bean. It can be sourced from health food shops. It is high in saturated fat so needs to be used sparingly, hence the small serves.
    • Buckwheat is often mistaken as a grain but it is actually a seed of a plant. It is gluten free and can be eaten raw or cooked.
