Meet David

 

My journey to good food began in my mother’s pickle jar, continued through the professional pastry kitchen and landed me in the factory of America’s first artisanal chocolate-maker, Scharffen Berger.  Since then (2002), I have had the honor of a front-row seat to America’s bean-to-bar chocolate movement, as well as the recently minted American craft food movement.

MY CHOCOLATE SOAPBOX NUTSHELL

Why eat chocolate like it is a guilty indulgence, a naughty no-no, a private affair? There is so much more fun and interest to be had when you normalize chocolate, bring it to the dinner table, and treat it for what it is: food. Good ol’ life sustaining, health promoting, delicious food.
