My profession used to be sparked by a single bite of a chocolate truffle, made by my Paris landlady in 1972. I returned house to initiate this nation’s first chocolate bakery and dessert store, Cocolat, and I am recurrently “blamed” for introducing chocolate truffles to The United States. This day I am the James Beard Basis and IACP award-a success creator of ten cookbooks, advise a chocolate dessert class on Craftsy.com, and work with about a of the enviornment’s ideal chocolate companies. In 2018, I won the IACP Award for Most inspiring Meals-Centered Column (this one!).
