San Fran Event: Raw Chocolate Making Class with Ben Tseitlin

WLIR_Choc_Class

On Monday September 19th my friend Ben Tseitlin is hosting a raw chocolate making class in San Francisco.

Ben is a really cool guy I've had the pleasure of knowing for a few years and I have enjoyed his chocolates on a MANY occasions. What makes his chocolates special is the special type of honey he sweetens it with. It gives them a unique taste that's makes Ben's chocolates stand out.

When making raw chocolate it can be tricky to get the temperature and consistency just right. If you've been wanting to learn how to make your own chocolates taking a class can save you time by helping you avoid making the common mistakes.

During the class he'll walk you through the process of making chocolate from start to finish.

Make Your Own Raw Chocolate Class with Ben Tseitlin
  • Date: Monday, September 19, 2011
  • Time: 7:30-10pm
  • Location: The Hub Soma, San Francisco (901 Mission St, Suite 105, San Francisco)
  • Description: Roll up your sleeves and learn how to make raw chocolate from scratch!

RSVP + Registration Details ($40 includes all the ingredients you'll need)

If you don't live near San Francisco you can also order his chocolate online at benchic.com

Also, if you're an entrepreneur and are looking for some inspiration check out the podcast Ben did a while back interviewing the Daniel Clary, the founder of Alkemie (a raw ice cream company).
