Hands-on workshop with Chantal Coady and Barry Johnson of Rococo
Mastering the Art of Chocolate

Friday 22nd March at 4pm

 

 From an early age Chantal Coady wanted to open a Chocolate Shop, and in 1983 she achieved her ambition when she opened Rococo on London’s King’s Road. At a time when British chocolate was dominated by the big industrial brands, Chantal sought to narrow the focus to varietal chocolate, eventually working directly with growers and producers in the equatorial cocoa zone.

Nowadays, the flagship store in Belgravia is a treasure trove of pleasure for any chocophile, and is also home to the Rococo Chocolate School. Rococo's couture chocolates are made in South London, and there are now 4 stores, including one in Chester.

Here’s an opportunity to experience a mini version of the Rococo ‘Masterclass on Chocolate’: learn where it comes from, how it is made, how to taste it and then how to temper it. Then make chocolate-dipped marzipan hot cross buns with Chantal and her Principal Chocolatier Barry Johnson.

Join us for what promises to be a unique, informative and delicious workshop. Tickets cost just £20 per person. To keep group-sizes small, we’ve limited numbers to 24 places. So please book now to avoid disappointment.
