Description
Chocolate is an incredibly complex food - both to make and to taste. In this class with Chocolatier Joanna Dwyer you’ll learn about one of our favorite ingredients and foods: Chocolate! From bean to bar, Joanna will give you the knowledge and background you need to truly appreciate chocolate and the process it takes to get to you. You’ll spend class trying your hand at the art that the Swiss and Italians have been harnessing for centuries: Chocolate making. While making deceptively simple chocolate bars, Joanna will teach you the foundational skills required to work with chocolate, like tempering and molding; as well as more general candy making techniques like caramel making. Come with a love for chocolate, and leave with a deep appreciation.
With dairy and nuts.
