I need to take the time to read her bio. I'm sure her life is very interesting. She did briefly mention some of it though. I would have loved to have taken more time with her, but I popped in out of the blue and I know she has a lot of "top end" clients who's orders she needs to fill. She makes it all by hand, no machinery so I didn't want to intrude too much. Perhaps sometime in the near future I'll have more time with her. koko -- Food is our common ground, a universal experience James Beard www.kokoscornerblog.com Updated 11/21/10 Natural Watkins Spices www.apinchofspices.com |

When you see stuff being made like that it makes you appreciate the hard work that goes into it, and you don't feel ripped off when you pay a tad more for the product. We've got a couple of choclatiers around here, and they were good to start with, but progressed onto using machinary to pump out the volume needed..... and granted, the chocolates are still great, but they're still charging what they were charging when they were doing it all by hand. > > Perhaps sometime in the near future I'll have more time with her. > On Junior Masterchef recently, one of my favourites was an 11yo boy called Sam. The very first dish that he made when he started cooking, and still makes, was a French Quarters Cake with tempered chocolate, whipped cream, strawberries and raspberries. Watching an 11yo kid tempering chocolate, and doing it well, was a blast!!

koko asked about Chuao chocolatiers:
> what are they and where are they? They're artisanal chocolatiers located all around the San Diego area. Their chocolates are made somewhere in the northern part of the county, Carlsbad or Oceanside, but they've got several "cafes" in the more-populated areas. When I visited San Diego last month I stopped in at their shop in UTC. http://www.chuaochocolatier.com/ is their not-very-good web site which tells more about their extremely-good chocolate, including where to find them.
