THE HISTORY OF THE MAGIC OF CHOCOLATE
For many people, the word “chocolate” in October evokes memories of trick-or-treating and Halloween. There’s no question that witches are more top-of-mind around Halloween. Did you know that there is a connection between witchcraft and chocolate as well? During this presentation, we’ll explore the origins of chocolate, and how it was popularized around the world. You’ll discover what witchcraft has to do with this “food of the gods.”
Is chocolate truly as magical as some believed it to be?
Ever the chocoholic, Lindsay Tarnoff started the socially conscious business Laughing Gull Chocolates in 2014. Inspired to change the world with chocolate, she aims to find a sustainable way to bring chocolate to our community. Lindsay’s knowledge stems from academic studies, hands-on experience eating and making chocolate, and first-hand experiences visiting cacao farms. Together with her business partners Karla and Allison, she enjoys pushing the boundaries of flavors, and thoroughly enjoys eating what she creates.
