Chocolate Master Class with Melt - July 19 from 18.30 - 20.00

Cookbook Cafe held its first “open to the public” chocolate master class with Keith Hurdman of …Melt… on Thursday 31 May and it was a screaming success. One of the class participants, Amanda Wright, offered her thoughts on the evening…

“We discovered some of the origins and types of chocolate that can be found around the world, and experienced the tastes and textures of different varieties including tasting 100% chocolate. Darren, an aspiring chocolatier, demonstrated the art of “tempering” chocolate to get it to the perfect temperature before creating the “piece de resistance” — our very own signature truffles.

As with anything requiring undivided attention and participation, the palate got dry, so naturally we moved on to learn the secrets behind the perfect chocolate martini. Joel gave us a quick talk on the history of the martini and the ingredients required before demonstrating how to make one. In no time, all of us were mixing our very own chocolate martinis.

By the end of the class I definitely walked away with a new understanding and appreciation for handmade chocolates as well as a goodie bag full of truffles in one hand and a chocolate martini in the other. An unquestionable winner for any chocolate lover!”

Cookbook Cafe is hosting Keith Hurdman again on Thursday 19 July 18:30 – 20:00, £35.00
