Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed the article…it took days to write, but I didn’t want to short change any of the chocolates! They were all so good. And thanks for taking good care of us at your booth…as you can read, we really enjoyed your chocolates!

Wwhat a thorough treatment of the Salon!
I was stuck behind my table all day, and only got to try maybe three other chocolatiers’ offerings.
But even the few I tried, by the time I got home had blended together inmy memory, the only think standing out being the Intrigue Chocolates’ Grapefruit truffle, and william Dean’s amazing packaging.

Thank you so much for doing such an excellent job.

That sounds really familiar. I think he offered me a taste but I unfortunately turned it down since I was being a little paranoid about the no soft/blue cheeses during pregnancy thing at the time. I wish I had made an exception, though. I’m really curious about it.

I think just about anyone short of my friend who’s allergic to chocolate could’ve found something to love there. Wait, no, there were also a winery and a bottled tea/juice beverage company giving out samples there, so even if she didn’t want the wine, I know she would’ve liked the tea.

Yeah, I’m fascinated with the flavor concepts but not really sure where to start looking for more information! But at least I think I’ll do an informal experiment sometime soon, just to see if I can get some results that way. Chocolate and cream are easy to come by, so I just have to figure out what flavoring agents to add.

Wow. Just…wow. I’m not a chocolate fan in general (I definitely appreciate it but will usually go with something fruity) but THOSE are all the kinds of chocolates I like. Especially the very gorgeous colorful little truffles with the very creative flavors. Wish I was there!

Very fascinating about the science of flavors being tasted in order, too. I’ve definitely had that phenomenon happen in things I’ve made but it’s never intentional – sometimes the flavors blend and other times they hit you one after the other. Seems like I’d have to do a lot of studying to learn how to orchestrate it myself though!
