Chocolate is not naturally sweet or creamy, it’s got so many gorgeous flavours, which is why we use it in everything we do at the Cocoa House. We’ll share with you some of the secrets in our own savoury chocolate creations, combining different tastes and textures with chocolate to make some unusual yet irresistible chocolate inspired dishes. Each participant will make their own savoury chocolate combinations that they can enjoy at home or further use in their own chocolate cooking.
This workshop is part of our Chocolate Masterclass series, it can be enjoyed on its own or as part of a series of classes. Previous knowledge will not be necessary so it's a perfect introduction to the mechanics of working with chocolate, especially for any for any cake maker that wants to understand more about how chocolate works.
During the workshop you will:
- Learn how to choose the right chocolate product to work with in their cooking from raw cacao, cocoa nibs, liquor, cocoa, chocolate and cocoa butter
- Learn how to combine ingredients with chocolate to create interesting and unique taste and texture experiences
- Create your own unique signature chocolate
- Create savoury chocolate sauces for use in your own cooking
- You will beautifully wrap your products to take home and enjoy
- Go home with recipes and your newly found chocolate knowledge
What do you take away with you?
Each participant will take home approximately 400g of your own chocolate desserts as well as the recipes and technical worksheets to be able to make your own and perfect your skills at home.
Who is it suitable for?
Perfect for chocolate lovers of all ages and abilities who want to learn more of the secrets to create their own gorgeous chocolates at home. This course is also ideal for chefs and catering students to learn how to work with fine quality chocolate in a range of environments and purposes.
Please note that children are most welcome at this workshop, however we do ask that they are accompanied by a full paying adult participant
