The Tale of Chocolate Ganache Sauce
Story updated
Ganache, a mixture of chocolate and cream, is generally said to have emerged in mid-19th-century French patisseries, with a popular but unverified legend that the name came from an apprentice being scolded after accidentally pouring cream into melting chocolate. It has since become foundational to French pastry.
