Okay, so I am a little biased. I was one of the instructors at last night’s ‘For the Love of Chocolate’ class at the new Cheese School of San Francisco. But I must say, a good time was had by all. And there was a whole lot of learning going on, too. We learned how to taste pure chocolate using all five senses. We learned the difference between a Port and a Madeira and a Malmsey. We paired cheese with chocolate. Oh, and did I mention the Scotch portion of our evening?
The most gratifying part of the evening was what I call the ‘Wow’ factor. That look of astonishment when a student discovers a totally new taste combination. The third place is what I like to call it. It is the place where certain combinations of foods take you to a new place that you have never been before, nor did you know it existed. We went there many times last night. Won’t you join us next time?
The next 'For the Love of Chocolate' class is February 6, 2007. If last night is any indication, it will sell out fast. Call Sara at 415.346.7530.
Do you know that potatoes and apples actually taste a like its only because of our sense of smell that we can recognize the difference of the two..They if you cover your nose and eat potatoes it actually taste like apples.
