The beautiful displays at Artisan du Chocolat
"Is this your shop? I love it the simple elegance. It's understated to bring your eye up to the mural. If you had a painted mural on the floor people would feel like they sunk into the Rainforest it's so amazing."

- Most memorable chocolate experience:
- The energy that comes from having exceptional chocolate is so pure, it makes you precious chocolate is. Silly? I don't think so. It seems like it gets that energy from absorbing the best rays of the sun, the nutrients from the soil and the passion from the people who harvest it.
- My favorite chocolate is:
- French or Swiss dark chocolate

There's so much to learn and finding out more every day is what we seem to have in common. So When Jeff called me from Callebaut and we talked about a way to spread the word about the Varietal line of chocolates that they're offering...doing a pre-show demo for Professionals and those aspiring to be, is what we came up with at the Bucks County Chocolate Show.…
Loving the thrill of beta-testing chocolate recipes

o.k, maybe it's sort of like the rush you get when you're dating, or maybe it's just the fun of trying new things just because you can. I love trying new recipes. I even try new recipes when I have a party, to see what people think of it.
So, given this great opportunity, I had the feeling that other people who like that same adrenalin rush of learning new thing, creating and sharing, might want to have the chance to share it. Sometimes people just need that first break to get started: at… Continue

Enjoying a new blend of flavors...goat cheese and balsamic ganache

Who knew that goat cheese ganache would be so smooth and obscure in its own way? I figured that with almond milk pulling together the flavors instead of cream and black current balsamic with and added splash of Chambourg....it would happen.
Participating at the local Chamber of Commerce Women in Business fundraiser, I beta tested the results and there was no competition with the traditional ganache....everyone came back for the… Continue

- Is the Hot Chocolate at Naked Chocolate different from the Sipping Chocolate? I've seen that they have spicy ones, but my mouth doesn't like capsaicin very much. :)

Yes, I'm definitely in for the May 29th show! Will you send me the sign-up form again? I'm very busy, which is great! No recession here! I've got one more craft show tomorrow, so I'll have time next week to get that form taken care of, and I'll give you some rouge cocoa powder.

- After I had that chocolate truffle, I thought about chocolate all the time. Within a year I set-up The Chocolate Bar, LLC in PA because I knew I was meant to do something with chocolate-just wasn't sure what it was yet.
I'm not sure how much time has gone by, the "something" is the Bucks County Chocolate Show. Check it out-it's been well worth all that dreaming.
