WOULD you like to learn how the best make the best chocolate delights?
It’s a simple question that can be answered, at a cost, by the renowned French chocolate manufacturer Valrhona, who will host a number of culinary classes during 2012.
Local chocolate lovers can make a mini break of the quest seeking adventure and join Andrew Gravett, Valrhona’s Patissier for the UK and Scandinavia at the London base from March 15.
Aimed at the consumer and keen cook, Valrhona will be using recipes and techniques from their book, Cooking with Chocolate and the new classes will replicate the same format as the ones in France, where students are not only taught how to taste, use and store chocolate, but also how a number of techniques can be used to create wonderful cakes, pastries and confectionery.
Proposed techniques to be taught on the day include: Making ganaches, Tempering chocolate, Piping and decorative work, Truffle making, Easter egg production and examples of recipes will include: Earl Grey truffles, Salt Caramel and Chocolate tart and Hot chocolate with honey marshmallow.
