A sweet day










I was thrilled when Gillian agreed to let me spend a day in her chocolate shop as work experience girl.  A chance to live out my Juliette Binoche fantasies and learn a little of the mysteries of the chocolatier.  I can't say that I'm much clearer on the magic of tempering chocolate, turning dull brown chocolate buttons into smooth shiny bars with a marvellous snap.  Nor did any Johnny Depp type gypsies come swaggering into the shop.  But I did have lots of fun, spending the day with fun and very clever people who make beautiful chocolates.

  1. I do hope you got to do quite a bit of taste testing! That does look delicious and so prettily presented. Now I'm having chocolate cravings.
