Published on March 31, 2009 - Chocolate, chocolate, chocolate. What’s not to love about it? You can eat it, cook with it, even wear it if want. With Easter just around the corner, we thought we’d point you to a few places to get your choco-fix on.
For guaranteed taste bud bliss, a trip to some of our high-end confectioners is a must. Visit Geneviève Grandbois for delicate and delicious hand-made treats or Suite 88, Montréal’s first-ever chocolate lounge and boutique—sake chocolate shooter, anyone?
If you’re more the hands-on type, you might want to try a chocolate-making workshop. The Académie culinaire offers one- or two-day sessions, for a total of six hours, on how to concoct mouth-watering truffles, mousses and ganaches like the masters. In April, you can sign up for a cozy chocolate-making session at Europea’s “L’Atélier” and have gourmet chefs share sought-after sweet secrets.
Got an appetite for something a little more luxurious? Then pamper yourself with the chocolate-based treatments over at Spa Espace Nomad. They’ll stimulate your senses with a choco-cranberry body scrub or detoxify your skin with an organic chocolate and green tea body wrap. Mm, mm, good.
