Summary:
Memories mean a lot, so hold them close to your heart. We are, after all, just a collection of memories. In this experience, we explore your childhood memories through the experience of chocolate. We use chocolate to highlight and bring into sharp focus each of your six senses and to evoke powerful memories of your childhood. You will make bespoke bonbons with your chosen sensory flavours and scents. The perfume of clementines might take you back to the joy of eating an orange as a child, or the smell of pine – to a lovely Mediterranean sea-side holiday. Fire – will take you back to a camping experience – in which you will enjoy making smores around the campfire in a tent. Step back in time – and rediscover your inner child, their creativity, curiosity and simple pleasures. Enjoy playing with chocolate – in its molten, flaked or tempered form.
When was the last time you played? If one of life’s greatest pleasures is to play, and one of life’s greatest pleasures is chocolate – it stands to reason that playing with chocolate must be one of life pre-eminent pleasures. Our experiences are designed to allow you to play with chocolate – to immerse yourself in chocolate and experience joy.
Memory is the mother of all wisdom and chocolate is a gateway to memories – pleasurable memories of childhood and family. We aim to explore these memories through the experience of nostalgic chocolate.
If chocolate can evoke memories. As Master Chocolatiers it follows, logically, that we are also experts in memories. As chocolatiers we are the craftsman of nostalgic chocolate and purveyors of pleasure.
Like explorers starting out to discover a hidden island or find a lost continent – we aim to explore and chart memories in all its complexity and dimensions. Chocolate is our chosen medium and your senses our compass to chart a course for us. The experience will throw a light on each of the dimensions of memory. Each segment of the experience is designed specifically to accentuate or stimulate a particular sense and in the correct order in order to take you to back to the pleasurable experiences of your childhood. This is an experience all about sensory overload and nostalgia for a simpler time.
