In fact, there are a few, perhaps the most important being that every participant is guaranteed to have a ball! What’s more, the chef takes care of absolutely everything, providing all equipment and ingredients, both of which you’ll learn to get hands-on with. Guided by your chef, you’ll learn their most hard-earned trade secrets, gaining the skills to make your favorite chocolate confections. The best bit? You’ll have a chance to sample your sweet creations at the end, reflecting on the session with your friends and, quite possibly, locking in a date for the next one.

What Chocolate Making techniques and skills will I master?

The specific skills you’ll learn will depend on the class you book. You can expect to learn about the different types of chocolate and the science behind making them. You might also learn the art of tempering and other manual skills like molding, piping and sculpting.

Guided by a friendly local chef with more than a decade’s experience in the industry, you and your classmates will learn your host’s most closely-guarded culinary secrets. They’ll demystify the art of chocolate making, teaching you accessible skills to take home and practice in your own kitchen.

What types of classes/menus can I choose from?

Whatever your palate prefers, you’re sure to find a chocolate making class to please it. Perhaps you love the deep richness of dark chocolate or the decadent sweetness of white chocolate? Or maybe your childhood love for milk chocolate is a vice you never managed to grow out of. From exploring centuries-old chocolate-making traditions to dabbling in more contemporary approaches, there is a chocolatier course in America’s Finest City for chocoholics of all persuasions.

Of course, if you’d prefer to do the hosting at your house or another hired venue, that’s fine too. All your chef needs is a clean and functional kitchen, plus enough space for everybody in the class to work safely. Provided that’s in place, they’ll gladly come to you, bringing with them everything needed for the class, including equipment and all ingredients.
