Pleasure Palate Chocolate Tasting at L'Artisan du Chocolat July 27, 2007

Time to tempt your palate with all the pleasurable flavors that Southern California has to offer. Join Pleasure Palate as we do some culinary exploring of restaurants (both high-end and holes in the walls), various food and beverage tastings, cooking classes, potlucks and so much more. From savory to sweet, from salty to sour, from spicy to tangy, from exotic to All-American, we'll taste it all, so come along and take your taste buds on the ride of their life. Tonight it's all about savoring some of the chocolates from the Summer Chocolate Collection of L'Artisan du Chocolat!

"....these are no ordinary truffles. They hold a jolt of chocolate as intense as a tiny cup of espresso...The texture is incredibly silky, and because the sugar is understated, the taste is very pure: simply dark bittersweet chocolate and sweet butter smoothed with a little cream. A single truffle is such a knockout sensory experience."

From Los Angeles Times

With a review like that, you may be able to see why L'Artisan du Chocolat is getting raves from both the Los Angeles Times and other noted food critics. Owned by husband and wife team Christian Alexandre and Whajung Park, L'Artisan du Chocolat is now THE place to get the finest French chocolates in Los Angeles.
