My occupation was sparked by a single bite of a chocolate truffle, made by my Paris landlady in 1972. I returned home to begin this nation’s first chocolate bakery and dessert store, Cocolat, and I’m many times “blamed” for introducing chocolate truffles to The United States. Recently I’m the James Beard Foundation and IACP award-winning author of ten cookbooks, voice a chocolate dessert class on Craftsy.com, and work with just some of the arena’s fully chocolate companies. In 2018, I won the IACP Award for Easiest Meals-Centered Column (this one!).
