SUMMARY:Chocolate history, tasting, and bean to bar production class i
 n NYC
DESCRIPTION:Hello NY Chocophiles,\nThrough the great assistance of my 
 friend Beth we've been able to arrange a bean-to-bar chocolate making 
 class at Saveur magazine headquarters magazine in Murray Hill next Wed
 nesday evening, July 6th. This will be an extra special class in the b
 eautiful setting of Saveur's brand new test kitchen and I will have ju
 st returned from Oaxacaa and Xoconusco, Chiapas, the prized historical
  Aztec cacao growing region, and I'll have cacao beans and spices such
  as Chinantla vanilla, aromatic Rosita de Cacao, and Jaguar Cacao with
  me to demo and taste in the class.\nWe'll make bars directly from the
  bean and nibs that you can mold and flavor yourself as well as sampli
 ng 15 different chocolates from around the world to taste the terroir 
 of each cacao. Please let all your chocophilic friends know about the 
 class, and sign up soon since there are only 20 places and these class
 es fill up fast! Once you sign up, we'll send more info on the locatio
 n and what to bring.\nA portion of proceeds will go towards helping ca
 cao growers in Chiapas, Mexico with organic certification, better ferm
 entation, and processing of cacao as part of this Kickstarter project.
