Calling all lovers of the Joanne Harris book and film Chocolat…and chocolate lovers in general! Join Angela McEllin and local chocolatier Mary Storey for a two day chocolate extravaganza! Bonus points will be awarded to the most impressive Vianne, Roux, Armande and/or Joséphine impersonators!
Mary Storey will teach you to Temper Chocolate like a professional (we’ll avoid licking the offset spatulas in class, but you can do what you like in the privacy of your own home.) You’ll get to indulge in your instructor’s creations plus, lunch each day will incorporate at lease a little of the most magical (legal) ingredient on the planet. Over the two days, you’ll make a selection of delicious chocolate creations which are yours to bring home to share with your friends and family if you choose…or not, we won’t judge! Delights you will create include:
Chocolate, Pistachio and Orange Nougat (GF) other nuts and flavors available too!
Joséphine’s Chocolate Almond Cake (GF) soooo good you wouldn’t know it’s naturally gluten free!
Capezzoli di Venere (Spiced Nipples of Venus Truffles) (GF) piped & twice dipped and gilded with edible 24K gold leaf!
Nussecken (German Nut Corners) (Can be made GF)
Moulded Chocolates (GF)in your choice of designs (if you haven’t been here before, Angela has hundreds to choose from!)
Chocolate Croissant de Lune* (GF) which you’ll learn to paint using colored cocoa butter!
*Not to be confused with the buttery crescent-shaped pastry which Mary teaches in her 2 part Laminated Dough class!
This class is suitable for the following Dynamic Duo Types:
YES: Parent/Grandparent & Child (these are full day classes, so more suited to older children (12+) or younger children (8+) with a real interest in baking.)
YES: Couples/Roommates (live in the same household)
YES: Friends (you will share all equipment/ingredients for 1 recipe/batch…we let you rock, paper, scissors if the recipe doesn’t divide equally.)
*What is a Dynamic Duo? It’s basically two people sharing the same workstation at no extra charge. You share all equipment and ingredients for a single batch of whatever we’re making that day.
We provide all ingredients, supplies, and tools required for use during each class. Best of all you get to take home whatever tasty treats you make - we provide all boxes/packaging too!
Please wear comfortable shoes (stools will be provided) and have long hair tied back. For the comfort of all our students and staff, we ask that you refrain from wearing strong perfume or cologne. You may wish to bring a cardigan or sweater as the kitchen is kept at 68F.
