As Smooth As Chocolate
As you can see I have a one track mind this month... This came about after I was invited to attend an exhibition in Monaco dedicated to... chocolate! The 'Salon du Chocolat' was, is a chocolate paradise. I suddenly found myself engulfed and obsessed with all things chocolate. From the colour, to the taste, the aroma, and the benefits of chocolate, I wanted to demonstrate that chocolate can be enjoyed in oh so many ways. It's not about the quantity, it's about the quality, as is everything in life.
"Flowers and champagne may set the stage, but it's chocolate that steals the show."
I hope you will find all the articles irresistible and appetising. So why not settle down with a cup of hot chocolate and enjoy... Have a wonderful smooth and chocolatey November.
