About

Learn how chocolate is made, starting with a fresh Ecuadoran cacao pod; remove the mystery of baking with yeast (yes a fungus!) by playing a little and making some morning sweet desserts; scream for homemade ice cream and enjoy it with edible bowls and creative toppings; go back in history and learn to make pie-like treats that taste better than their names of brunts, sonkers and buckles; and experience the miraculous transformation of egg whites to extravagant, glossy meringues in an old-English dessert called Eton Mess.
