What’s it all about?

Not all chocolate is created equal, and it doesn’t all come out of a purple packet. Want to learn more about your favourite treat and take your chocolate eating to the next level of enjoyment? If so, join us to learn how to choose quality chocolate, understand which type is right for you and how to really enjoy it. Be warned, your chocolate eating may never the be same again… but it may be a hell of a lot better.

What will we cover?

Our journey will take us back 2,000 years into the history of chocolate, and human sacrifice. We’ll learn where it comes from and why that matters. We’ll delve below the labels of organic and fair-trade so you know exactly what you’re eating. And talking of eating; chocolate is about enjoyment, so we will walk you through simple mindful eating techniques to make sure you really enjoy your chocolate experience. And you get to put this all into practice when we wrap up the evening with a tasting of chocolate. Beautiful, fine, French chocolate.

Who will be teaching?

Fortunately a few years ago she realised that chocolate and health go together; and she’s since been spreading the word and converting the world, one chocolate lover at a time, to understand what really great chocolate is.

Shari works as a wellness and nutrition coach and also runs regular speaking events in this field. She’s fascinated by the emerging science around nutrition and whether through her talks, or one on one coaching sessions, she loves helping people make long lasting change in their life.
