To me, there is nothing like it. I am a bit obsessive about it though! I do have tons of fennel seeds in my garden and I am curious about the taste of it with chocolate. I guess in the right quantities it could be absolutely gorgeous, particularly as I love a good ganache. I need to get picking my fennel seeds now :) laura@howtocookgoodfoodhttp://www.howtocookgoodfood.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8897540628930976052.post-55955818380002717262012-09-30T22:06:36.798+01:002012-09-30T22:06:36.798+01:00These sound just that bit different but in a good ...These sound just that bit different but in a good way.

James Martin had a chocolate cake recipe with a fennel bulb in it if you want to explore the combination further http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/chocolatefennelcakew_87836 and if you google there's also a recipe by him for baked chocolate mousse cake with candied fennel.
