Immerse yourself in the world of chocolate with this voyage of chocolate discovery.
Working with the highest quality of sustainably sourced chocolate couverture you will enjoy the tastes, scents and textures of different types and origins of chocolate and go home with enough knowledge to continue your chocolate adventures in your own kitchens. Obviously all chocolates created during these workshops will be taken home to share with family and friends.
Each half day workshop will start with a brief chat about participants chocolate making experiences and goals. The content of the morning will then be tailored specifically to the needs and requests of the guests but will be designed to give each participant a thorough grounding in the essential chocolate skill of tempering which underpins all successful chocolate craft. There will be lots of opportunities along the way to sample, taste and share ideas as well as a forum for questions for our team of chocolatiers.
During the workshop, as well as tempering, we may also cover skills such as moulding, shelling, capping, rolling, piping and many more to create an array of chocolates that will impress your family and friends (not to mention making you extremely popular!!!). We aim to use readily available ingredients and equipment so that you can go away with the knowledge to continue your chocolate making journey at home.
What will I create?
The exact nature of the chocolates made during this workshop will differ from session to session but you will definitely come away with an array of delicious chocolate-y creations made by your own fair hand, to share with family and friends (if you can bare to share!)
