The July '98 Recipe of the Month The '98 World Tour Try as we might, we could not find an easy to prepare chocolate recipe in the Far East. There are interesting Japanese recipes but they tend to use difficult to find ingredients (such as powdered green tea). If your ever find chocolate accented with powdered green tea, try it, it's wonderful. Therefore for this month we've skipped over the Far East and landed in Mexico, where chocolate is used frequently in cooking. Summer being a traditional time for serving chicken we're offering you a new way to serve that old favorite. Have an interesting foreign recipe that uses chocolate? "Send it in. We'll squeeze it into our travel itinerary."
