BOBBLE TIKI: THE ART OF CHOCOLATE CANDY MAKING >>>
The holidays. Love ’em or loathe ’em, they’re here, complete with fudge, stuffed mushrooms, plump guys in red suits and parties! Pot luck, probably. Bobble Tiki already juggles a stack of invites and might even volunteer (or, more likely, be volunteered) to throw a bash too. And now that good ol’ Aunt Ho has retired to Florida and taken up windsurfing, Bobble Tiki can’t count on the fam to prepare the holiday candy.
Therefore, Bobble Tiki has to head to school.
Tomorrow Bayview School of Cooking hosts Olympian chocolatier Bruce Tegarden, owner of Fine Art Chocolates, who will teach the fundamentals of chocolate, its properties, varieties and tempering process.
Taste Tegarden’s sweet success with a sampling of port, too.
