The Essence of Chocolate with Lindsay Tarnoff of Laughing Gull Chocolates

Wait! Before you down that next Hershey's Kiss, do you know where your chocolate comes from?

If you're curious, join Lindsay Tarnoff of Laughing Gull Chocolates at Act 4 Books on August 23rd. Lindsay, a certified sensory analyst and chocolate sommelier, will walk us through chocolate's origins. She'll start with cacao trees, their cultivation and their intrinsic role in their rain forest home. She'll explain how cacao growing conditions influence the taste of your special treat, why it's important to know where your chocolate is sourced and how cacao is transformed into the irresistible indulgence we all love.

Your $35 ticket lets you taste your way around the rainforest and the world with eight delicious chocolate samples. You'll also receive a cacao bean, and a chocolate tasting wheel and placemat. Please reserve your spot in advance.

You'll leave with a new appreciation for the journey that gets chocolate from bean to bar.
