Become a Chocolate Expert | Chocolate Master Class

Do you love chocolate? Do you know much about chocolate?

For many of us chocolate is something we grew up with and as an adult, a sweet treat you buy from the supermarket with not much thought.

Yet there is a rich and fascinating history behind chocolate. In this course, I use my chocolate expert knowledge to:

• Take you all the way back to Olmec and Aztec times where the human love of cocoa was well known - long before it reached Europe.

• I'll then talk about how it was a secret of the Spanish before it fuelled the height's of London debauchery in the 1650's.

• More than just history you'll become your very own chocolate expert, with all the information you need to find the world's best chocolate.

• I will then teach you to how to truly experience chocolate when you eat it - in same way a wine connoisseur appreciates wine (just not spitting it out!).

What you need

• Have some milk and dark chocolate on-hand for the final chapters of your course where you will taste with me.

• In an ideal world you want to have some great quality chocolate. I have included the brands I will be tasting in the chapter notes.

  • If you're in Australia you can buy these from my online store, Fiamma Chocolate and we will deliver to your door.

  • If you're not in Australia, you can source these or similar from where you live (Google is your friend).

• Warning: supermarket chocolate is easy to access but never great quality, and it won't have much flavour profile. If you can, do buy some better quality chocolate - but if that's not possible don't worry. Just use what you can get - this is meant to be fun and indulgent after all!

• Our Chocolate Tasting Wheel. We will provide this as a resource of the How to Taste chapter and you can print it, or just use online.
