My occupation used to be sparked by a single chunk of a chocolate truffle, made by my Paris landlady in 1972. I returned home to initiate this nation’s first chocolate bakery and dessert store, Cocolat, and I’m usually “blamed” for introducing chocolate truffles to The US. This day I’m the James Beard Basis and IACP award-successful creator of ten cookbooks, educate a chocolate dessert class on Craftsy.com, and work with a pair of of the sector’s easiest chocolate companies. In 2018, I won the IACP Award for Supreme Meals-Targeted Column (this one!).
