Clay Gordon commented on Kate Z's blog post Fruit Puree"It is certainly possible to make fruit purees at home.

Does anyone know how to make fruit puree to make ganache fillings with? Or is it better to buy them in the grocery store? Do grocery stores carry quality fruit purees? Thanks a bunch!

Does anyone know where I can purchase canoes, tools, or sacks used by ancient Aztecs to cultivate, harvest, transport or harvest cacao? I know it's a long shot, but hoping someone would know, thanks! This is a photo of a cacao canoe I took while at the Bruges Chocolate Museum.See More
cheebs commented on Kate Z's blog post Best wine cooler to store couverture?"Vinotemp manufactures a large selection of coolers and cooing units. I'm sure at least one of them will suit your needs. I use a small (12 bottle) cooler myself, but more as a cooling cabinet than as couverture storage.

Kate Z posted a blog postBest wine cooler to store couverture?
Hi, I'm new here at the Chocolate Life. Just wondering how home chefs/chocolatiers store their couverture? I know it has to be stored at around 50-62 degrees Fahrenheit, I guess a wine cooler or cellar is my best bet. Does anyone have a wine cooler they use to store couverture or chocolate at home that they can recommend? Something not too huge or too tiny. Thanks!
