It fascinates me to consider how different our food culture has become since the days when I used to cook this recipe for chocolate marquise. It was a mainstay of the dinner parties I used to give in the late 1980s and early 1990s, as it was one of those dishes that you could make in advance during the week and relax, knowing that your pudding was done.
