The Days of Wine and Chocolate
Rita Horn and Phyllis VaccarelliWith Valentine’s Day on the horizon, chocolate is in everyone’s thoughts. Open your mind to the possibilities of chocolate added to savory dishes in the form of nibs, cocoa powder, unsweetened and bittersweet chocolate. We all know about mole, but there is much, much more we can create with chocolate.
Take this one step further and pair these dishes with wines that have undertones of chocolate and complement these recipes. This class will include a blind chocolate tasting to enhance your awareness of different chocolate nuances and flavors.
If you love cheese and informal parties, host a Fondue Get-Together in your own home. Just add a salad to this menu and you will have a complete Fondue meal.
