In every box

Ten drawn cards

Before cooking, I spent years drawing: the cafés of Paris and Moscow, portraits, tables. Ten of these watercolours and pastels become cards, and every box leaves with one of them, with a note on the back.

Questions

Until when can I order?

Until 15 December. The boxes are then put together one by one, to be ready before Christmas.

How do I receive my order?

On site for the workshop, the basket of rare fruits and the platters; shipping is possible for boxes, cacao hearts, raw bars and chocolate bars. We agree on it when you order.

Is the chocolate really raw?

Yes. The cacao, Criollo or Nacional for Racine d'or, is worked below 42 °C and sweetened with dates. The chocolate bars keep for several weeks in a cool, dry place.

For a team or an association?

From 8 to 100 guests, in the room of your choice: plant-based buffet, end-of-year meal, team chocolate workshop. December dates can be booked now.
