Chocolate University

Thanks for everyone that has signed up for Chocolate University!!!

This Thursday's meeting (The Chemistry of Chocolate) is "maxxed out"!! The response has been overwhelming. Thank you for supporting us and we look forward to supporting your appetite for knowledge!!

We look forward to meeting everyone attending. We will have an Organic Chemistry Expert on hand as well.....so bring your hardest questions!! This lecture will be held in the store as we are rapidly running out of space!

In the meantime if you are wondering what you missed at Chocolate University we hope to reprise the series soon with new content and new speakers (as well as the best of Dr Chocolate!)

If you want to get a taste of the Science of Chocolate in the meantime you can get a nibble from another talented Englishman who does a great job of presenting the Science of Good Food, Heston Blumenthal (OBE). He is an exceedingly talented Brit and does a damn fine job of blending Science and Fine Food.
