New Chocolate Shop

[Svenbo]

I also went to the chocolate making course and agree with lenster - it was great!

Isabelle is really nice and was a great teacher - and the chocolate that she makes is quite simply the best I've ever had - the lime & ginger one is stunningly good.

Will be going over to the shop tomorrow to stock up... :-P

Does anyone know what time this chocolate haven is open until tonight? I have a dinner party this evening and want to pick up some yummy goodness to take along!

On the subject of chocolate, there is a fantastic recipe for a chocolate cake in today's Times2 section.

[Coach Beth]

I'm on my way down there now and I am so excited!! Chocolate - yummy! And I might get a slice of Anna's double gooey chocolate cake too!

[CamberwellOz]

Three hours and counting.... Think I might have to try some of these great cakes on the way. Bon3yard - do you want to meet for lunch before?

[bon3yard]

Thanks for the offer but I'm saving myself for a big roast tomorrow(after the choccies of course). Plus I'll probably cycle down(providing there is somewhere safe to stow my bike?). Seeya at 2pm. Mike.

[Coach Beth]

After much deliberating (and much tasting of the samples!), I went for the white chocolate coconut - which was a favorite with my sprog as well. yum!

[Daisylets]

Beth! please bring some choc to the next MIB meeting if it's near you!!! I've been salivating at the very words on this thread .. mmmm.. lucky I'm not walking distance from the shop or you'd never get me out of there.. it'll make a change from eating the 10 zillion carrot sticks and humous I normally get through at the meetings.. I'll buy you a coffee :o)

[CamberwellOz]

Mike - what happened yesterday? You missed a brilliant afternoon.

[bon3yard]

Erm, I was under the impression it was today at 2pm????????

[Coach Beth]

Ok Claire - I will bring a few packs along to the November Mums in Business meeting!!! Yummy, yummy!

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

My only gripe about the shop (v friendly staff btw) is that for all the lurid flavours available, it would be jolly nice to have the option of some good, plain chocolate.

[CamberwellOz]

The lady who runs it is always open to requests. She makes all the chocolate on the premises herself. I'm sure if you asked her to make you a batch, she would.

[karter]

Does anyone know if this shop sells raw chocolate?

[PeckhamRose]

OK - what's raw chocolate?

The beans?

Or do you mean flavour-sugar-milk-free chocolate?

(Reminds me of a coffee shop in USA I went to - a coffee called "What's the point". Caffeinne-free fat-free-milk coffee!)

[karter]

Raw chocolate is where the cacao has not been heat treated so it retains all of its natural goodness and is packed with antioxidants. Oh and you really notice the difference too with regards to your mood. It is also not loaded with sugar. Try it and see, that's if you can find it.

[Melange Chocolate]

Thanks for your support.

[karter]

hey Isabelle, so do you sell raw choccie then? What about organic choccie? thanks

[cate]

Tried a sample of her hot chocolate today. Mmmmmmm. She also has new flavours of chocolate to try.

[lorraineliyanage]

i bought some raw chocolate from pretty traditional on northcross road a while ago, maybe a year and a half ago, the brand is 'Conscious Chocolate' and it's delicious, but it's so pricey that I make my own seeing as it's quite easy to make raw chocolate. PM me if you want a recipe that I use!

Hello Kate,

I do not sell any raw chocolate at the moment.

I do limit myself to quality couverture chocolate and single origin couverture chocolates.

I will start soon the hot chocolate and the truffles from these types of chocolates.

i will let you know when I have what you are looking for.

Speak to you soon

Hi Isabelle, I am Karter not Kate ( and a bloke B)) unless you are mixing me up with Cate above ( now that would be interesting wouldn't it).

Your chocolate sounds divine, i sure hope it's not the type that makes you itch.

see you soon.
