Channel your inner Willy Wonka and join Meredith from Food At Heart for a flavour-filled session of chocolate experimentation!
The Joy Of Chocolate celebrates eating chocolate in a more connected and delicious way. We’ll focus on the taste of different chocolates and experiment with some surprising, but tasty flavour combinations using beautiful Pump St bean-to-bar chocolate*.
As well as designing and creating chocolate treats, you’ll learn how to taste chocolate properly, paying attention to different senses while doing it. We also explore sweet and savoury aspects of cacao to give you a fully rounded appreciation of this wonderful ingredient.
There will be chocolate mouthfuls to enjoy on the day, plus treats to take home.
Your feelgood flavour adventure includes:
– Guided chocolate tasting, with different percentages and different origins of dark chocolate
– Flavour combining with chocolate and a range of tasty ingredients (herbs, spices, nuts, dried fruits and more…)
– Tips for tempering chocolate to give you the perfect snap and shine for your own creations
– A few minutes of silent tasting to finish the class
On the chocolate menu in October is:
– Pumpkin Butter Cups: this Halloween take on peanut butter chocolate cups is a delicious chocolate bite filled with pumpkin seed butter; it’s definitely a treat rather than a trick
– Pumpkin Cacao Kapow Balls: chocolate and pumpkin are a surprisingly tasty combination; we’ll mix the two together (with a citrus and apricot hint) to create an alternative to traditional truffles and coat in a generous dipping of chocolate
– Cacao Nib Pumpkin Pesto: this intriguing pesto with cacao nibs and pumpkin seeds is a fantastic addition to any chocolate loving kitchen
Ingredients are organic and seasonal where possible. The chocolate used in the session is dairy free dark chocolate.
*Pump St chocolate is one of the very best British chocolates & much higher quality than what is normally used in chocolate workshops
