Burdick Chocolate is offering a four day, hands-on workshop teaching the basics of fine chocolate making. This is a rare opportunity to build a familiarity with the ins and outs of preparing chocolate bonbons and confections and to gain a basic command of this complex food. Covered are the practical arts of cooking ganache fillings, tempering chocolate, the hand-cutting and dipping of bonbons, truffle making, the creation of distinctive chocolate confections, and more. The workshop will offer a well-rounded education into the connoisseurship of high quality chocolate – from its history, to the sourcing, preparation and preservation of it in the home kitchen.

Each participant will go home with a course handbook covering the skills learned in class; plus all the chocolate results will be packed up to take home at the end of the week.
