After taking a breather and then jumping headlong into the chocolate holidays (i.e., Thanksgiving through Valentines Day), I've re-imagined @Chocolopolis . It combines my love of chocolate with my love of educating. https://t.co/hHAHMlQdwa
One of the things I enjoy most is creating engaging chocolate experiences that illustrate how a bar of dark chocolate can taste like so much more than just chocolate. I hope you'll join me for a virtual #ValentinesDay class. Ticket deadline: Sunday! https://t.co/iuiifGvSLp
A great article by @uncommoncacao that explains the challenges of cacao genetic terminology. Did you know that "criollo" simply means "native"? https://t.co/TKLBWog3ni
I have a virtual dilemma. Would you attend a chocolate tasting in the middle of a workday? This is the question I'm trying to answer to set up a virtual event w/a maker in another country. Can it be a "breakfast", "lunch" or "coffee" break, or does it need to be after work?
