A little too much chocolate is just about right!

Posted on by

Do you know about my life long love for Chocolate?  It started early on because I come from a family of chocolate lovers. Actually, the rule at home was that you couldn’t have just one piece, you had to have two! The incapacity to resist the temptation and the  sheer pleasure when the chocolate hits the tip of my tongue, sounds very much like an addiction right?

So when I heard that Virginie Delavaud had started a Chocolate week long event in New York, she instantly became my new favorite Guru.

Chocolate & I is a series of events from Feb 8th to Feb 14th, with chefs with the delicious Anne Apparu as part of the gang and artists displaying work around their relationship with chocolate. And if your thing is being green, there is plenty about sustainability  and fair trade practices!

So save your week from Feb 8th to the 14th and make sure your bring your valentine date to

Eat, Love, Play

On Valentine’s night, we invite all (chocolate) lovers in town to enjoy erogenous dishes and appetizing environment envisioned and created by eating designer and artist chef Anne Apparu.

Other fabulous events include:

Love Potion: NYChocolatier Joy Fowler and mixologist Orson Salicetti will combine their unique talents to serve you their most bewitching compositions of fresh infusions and handcrafted truffles with love, using ingredients like honey, thyme, thai chili, tangerine, or Yeni Raki.
Chemistry of Love: Have you ever wondered why cheese and chocolate seem to put you in the mood? Well, they both contain phenylethylamine (PEA), a compound releasing endorphins into the brain and producing a mild feeling of euphoria, similar to the sensation of being in love. Rhonda Kave from Roni-Sue’s Chocolates and Anne Saxelby from Saxelby Cheesemongers will share with you some of these good feelings as you will taste their best sweet and savoury selections of the moment!
Forbidden Food: That Fond-due Feeling For singles only! We invite all hearts awaiting to melt to join us for a luscious cheese and chocolate fondue evening that will transport you on a journey to amusement, pleasure, gluttony, sensuality, culinary caprices and food taboos.
