WILLIE'S WONKY CHOCOLATE FACTORY episode descriptions:
Episode 1 Willie and his family travel to their Venezuelan cocoa farm El Tesoro to harvest their crop. Many questions arise: will they manage to get the harvest before the rains come in? Will Willie be able to source other beans locally to supplement his own crop? And like many new businesses, Willie worries about keeping the bank manager happy. The recipes featured in this episode include chocolate spread, truffles, roasted pepper gazpacho, brownies and a chocolate marinade for pork.
Episode 2 Willie begins to process his cocoa in his Devon chocolate factory. However, progress slows up when Willie receives some challenging feedback from Britain's top chocolatier, William Curley. Production may be at a standstill but Willie's greater chocolate mission isn't - a plan is hatched to develop a hot chocolate product and Willie attempts to win a huge order for his chocolate from Selfridges department store. Sweet and savoury recipes punctuate the drama including porcini and chocolate risotto, cloud forest cake and chocolate, and maple and pecan tart.
Episode 3 Willie's Devon based chocolate factory is up and running with the arrival of his final piece of equipment from Spain. Unfortunately, an accident with a forklift delays its installation significantly - maybe even permanently. Willie's luck isn't all bad though as his friend and legendary chef, Marco Pierre White puts his chocolate on the menu at his Yew Tree pub. Buoyant, Willie braves more critics as he takes his 100% bar to a tasting organised by chocolate connoisseurs 'Seventy Percent'. Recipes in this episode include the Yew Tree's venison with chocolate sauce, cocoa nib and pomegranate semifreddo, and Aztec hot chocolate.
Episode 4 Willie works night and day in his Devon chocolate factory to fulfill a large order placed by Selfridges department store. But will his enthusiasm to throw an opening party at the factory get in the way of production and potentially delay his big in-store launch? Willie also pitches his 100% cocoa bar to one of the country's leading supermarkets. But will they agree to buy his bar solving all of Willie's problems or dismiss it, as others have, as being far too niche a product? Recipes in this episode include home-made Easter eggs, chicken Mole and chocolate mousse.
