Top chefs seem to like to cook with Divine Chocolate, the only Fairtrade chocolate company that’s owned by cocoa farmers. This year, with Fairtrade Fortnight (22nd February – 7th March) focussing on making tea-time Fairtrade, Divine has new recipes to try.

MasterChef presenter Gregg Wallace has sent in his recipe for White Chocolate Gateaux. This incredibly delicate cake uses Divine smooth white chocolate, is flavoured with rose water and scattered with sugared rose petals. It is one of Gregg’s all-time favourites and comes from Gregg’s Favourite Puddings, out in August.

Divine has also enrolled French baker extraordinaire Richard Bertinet, owner of the world renowned cookery school The Bertinet Kitchen who has supplied Divine with his version of Millionaire’s Shortbread. This truly irresistible recipe incorporates hints of lavender and sea salt and uses Divine’s critically acclaimed* dark chocolate made with 70% cocoa solids.

Alan Coxon, the chef that BBC viewers voted in their top ten best TV chefs, is also a fan of cooking with Divine. He has created these sumptuous Afternoon Tea Fancies especially for Divine to mark Fairtrade Fortnight 2010. They use Divine’s dark, milk and white chocolate for a truly decadent treat.

Former supermodel Lorraine Pascale has swapped the catwalk for the kitchen. She quit modelling to study cookery in 2000 and started supplying Selfridges shortly afterwards. Last year she launched Ella’s Bakehouse in London’s Covent Garden. Her Chocolate Choux Buns, created exclusively for Divine, use Divine Dark and Divine White and pack a real punch with a glugg of Armagnac or Baileys.

Young and trendy chef Sam Stern is due to publish his fifth cookbook later this year. He has designed his upmarket take on Chocolate Fridge Cake.
