Learn how to make plant based, refined sugar free chocolate at home using only your blender and food processor.
This series of livestream classes are for people who want to learn how to make chocolate but may not want to invest in buying any additional equipment at this time.
Typically they are already making simple chocolate treats at home and want to take it to the next level and achieve that more refined look to the finished chocolates.
After you have completed these lessons, and had a go for yourself, you may want to go further and I have classes to meet you wherever you are, and for whatever your end goals may be. However, this is a very good place to start.
When learning anything new, it’s important to lay solid foundations and these classes will do that for you.
My teaching style is to give students the essential techniques and methods needed to make chocolate like a pro, while keeping it easy to understand and apply.
The recipes provided in my classes, and class books, are highly versatile bases that will provide you with a solid foundation of knowledge to keep you going for a long time. I use my base recipes everyday and they are what I draw on when I create new recipes. They are invaluable.
