My sister recently quit her Pastry Chef job making desserts at West Restaurant to work for Thomas Haas making....umm..chocolates. Its a sweet job (pun intended) working for one of Vancouver's best Pastry Chefs - she loves making chocolates, and i love to consume them. Here she is presenting me with my very first box of Thomas Haas chocolates for my birthday. If you ever want to try GOOD chocolate, try these. But be warned, you might need to go to Confession if you do... So what kind of chocolates? Try an Espresso with Amaretto Amaretto di Saronna - which is just a "dark chocolate ganache infused with espresso coffee beans and Amaretto di Saronno, dippedi n crystl sugar". Or how about something as simple as Lychee - "A silky dark chocolate ganache paired with a thin layer of fresh lychee, topped with a hand painted chocolate plaquette". Kids these are far from your Pot'O'Gold chocolates or heck, even Godiva couldn't touch these. All the chocolates are handmade, and most are 60-75% pure cocoa - mandatory for a discerning chocolate connoisseur like WT ;-). Oh, and did I say they also make chocolate cakes? yum.
