Amazon Inspire Digital Educational Resources. June 7, June 9, A few months ago, I became obsessed with this song by Maggie Rogers.

Its unlikely combination of folk and dance music is so hypnotic, I played it on repeat for weeks — even my kids started begging for it. The young singer-songwriter wrote this song while attending New York University, two weeks before a serendipitous masterclass with Pharell Williams launched her career. I think you should, too. I have zero, zero, zero notes for that. And I felt like your whole story I can hear it in the music. I can hear your journey.

Two things made a third. What Pharrel seeks in music, I seek in chocolate. Bold makers doing their own thing, exploring unchartered, sometimes unpopular territories. These are the people you read about here. Remember Mackenzie Rivers of Map Chocolate? She combines poetry with chocolate and makes grown-ups weep.

Paul John Kearins of Chocolatasm is another one. He brings his deep olfactory memory to his chocolates and boom! Rhubarb and sage bonbons.

New Year 2019

Let me introduce her. The couple makes chocolate bars in teeny little batches as in bars per batch , released as ephemeral collections. One of the bars especially caught my eye. I ordered three and inhaled one yes, I know, slow down and whatnot but what can I say, Batch 12 got the best of me. Good thing I have two more left. I think Pharrell would approve. I currently describe myself as an artist and OCD chocolate maker. In fact, it was my foray into chocolate that finally gave me the push to get back into my art studio full time. You see chocolate as art which, just like a painting, is rooted in a time and place.

Your batches are often inspired by your travels I still remember the trip to Portugal… and the batch inspired by it… my fave! Can you walk us through the creative process behind each batch? In the beginning 4 years ago each batch was an experiment with different origins to get a better understanding of different flavor and texture profiles and to help us develop a palate for what was, and still can be, some very unusual flavors.

As we traveled more often, and for longer periods of time, we were inevitably inspired to integrate the foods, experiences and interactions we had along the way in our chocolate — and art — making. Today, a new Batch is very much a reflection of where we are physically and creatively in the world. Often a direct response to a recent travel adventure but always influenced by a connection to people, places and experiences that move us. These batches have become a record of our travel, sketchbooks for our work as artists and, I really believe, love letters to one another.

This is from the site: Experimenting with new paintings by day and curled up by a raging fire at night, this artful release is a reflection of that sweet sojourn. This winter, in New Mexico, he was so excited to rise each morning and build a fire. He kept it steady all day long until we relaxed by it, together, each night, after a long day of painting and drawing for me.

When we talked about what memory we wanted to recreate from the trip, the idea of the sweet smokey smell from the fires was at the top of the list which gave us the idea for smoking the nibs. Sometimes we go into a trip with the intention of searching out an inclusion — for example, we knew we would drive around Mt. Camino Verde is an origin you seem particularly fond of.

What drew you especially to those beans? After trying more than a dozen origins, Camino always rose to the top for me. It also worked really well with a lot of different types of inclusions we were using — coffee, salt, etc — and allowed us to improve our craft as we slowly explored other favorite cacao origins.

I was able to meet Vicente Norero during a trip to Ecuador last year and almost passed out when he tried one of our Camino bars and gave it high praise! Your batches are ephemeral, which makes me wonder: I have thought about it, briefly, from time to time.

It would certainly make more sense from a business perspective but…. I hope that it might be the same for some of our fans too. There is something really interesting about using my skills as an artist — where I am generally concerned with creating something archival that will long outlast my own life — with making something artful that encapsulates a fleeting experience and will be consumed then gone forever.

Also, ephemeral is one of my favorite words and I have this weird thing for when certain words are used at certain times in my life…. I was so excited to see a white chocolate as part of Batch What prompted you to create it?

Will there be more white chocolate in the future? So, Batch 12 is a reflection of our New Mexico trip and I was making these black and white paintings during the trip that inspired the design of the bar. It was really satisfying to finally unite my chocolate making and my art making. What were some of the high points of the first edition? Ha, so many reasons. I grew up around soooo many women.

Mujeres Milagros really showed me that things are changing. The space is not better than a co-ed space but it is most certainly different and it is those differences that support the heart of what Mujeres Milagros is about. Thank you for your time. I wish all of your endeavors a lot of success. Find Batch chocolate online at batchcraft. April 4, April 26, Two winters ago, I signed up for a business training called B-School. Run by Marie Forleo, the program is designed to help you figure out what online business to start and, once you figure it out, how to market it.

Of all the concepts I was exposed to, one really stood out to me: How old is s he? Where does s he live? What are their fears?

How does your product fit in their life? When you know that, you can create a product and market it in a way that will get that person feel all the right feelings. Some brands understand that very well. From the lighting to the design of a bag, every detail has been thought out with their ideal customer in mind. Cared and understood is how I want to feel when I shop, especially when it comes to specialty food.

But as of , the marketing of fine chocolate mostly leaves me puzzled. Why should I care that the cacao comes from a given country? Why should I know about the steps to make chocolate? However, I wish that more chocolate-makers made our lives as consumers a bit easier while buying chocolate and deciphering wrappers. Here are four suggestions to makers so they can leave us chocolate eaters with all the right feelings. But just like I dated my husband before marrying him, I like being able to buy a small, 1-oz bar, before committing into a larger size bar.

Thankfully, a few makers are already doing that: And in case you wonder, I loved their Dak Lak the best. So the first words a new customer see when picking a bar are: Now, let me ask you, how do you think that made me feel? When you eat a dish, many things impact your perception of its deliciousness: The same goes for chocolate: Texture can make or break the perception of the bar. Maker notes on a packaging are like a storefront, they need to give you just enough information to want to go inside.

And when you go in, you want the store to measure up. So unless those notes are predominant like the saffron notes of this Peru by Svenska Kakaobolaget , they actually contribute to creating a negative tasting experience for me.
