Beginning Gourmet Cooking Techniques | Tuesday, per. 2

[sharp_man]

"Last week, we began working with gelatin," Hannibal said when everybody met him at Portalocity. "We will work a bit further with it in future, but this week, we shall be working with something else interesting and topical - chocolate. And because there is only so much to teach about it without seeing where it comes from, we will have another field trip."

He waved them through the portal - to Maison Cailler.

"Welcome to Broc, Switzerland. Maison Cailler is Switzerland's oldest brand, and considered by many to be the original home of milk chocolate. We will have a tour here, followed by a class taught by one of their chocolatiers. It will last several hours, but I've arranged portals so you won't miss the rest of the day back home, either. So, please enjoy the history, smells, and tastes of chocolate, pay attention in the class, and then we'll have some time in their store before we head back to the island."

All about chocolate. Beans, roasting, mixing, tasting... mmmmm.

Chocolate! Ringo wasn't quite as into the stuff as Alluka, but she still loved the stuff plenty.

This was going to be fun!

She'd even made chocolates for Valentines once, so she kind of knew what she was doing!

Class time!

[sharp_man]

Learn how to make chocolate hearts with melty middles.

Or listen to the chocolatier and Hannibal chat in between lessons. If you speak French. If not, they're probably not talking trash about bad chocolate. Maybe.

Talk to Hannibal

[sharp_man]

He's here! Enjoying the chocolate tour and keeping up with Fashion Week on his tablet.

Talk to the TA

[sharp_man]

Once she pings in.

Summer was there, and she was super glad that she brought her camera and also that she'd grabbed, like, a bazillion extra rolls of film because there were so many great things to shoot pictures of here, too, but she was also trying to be good and focus on this class and not another class while she was there. But Switzerland! And fancy ass chocolates!

OOC!

Yay Chloe Kim!
