Maggie is one of the few who innovate and understand what one can make of this universally favourite sweet... chocolate.Maggiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03451810782875481744noreply@blogger.comBlogger21100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7642316509139373540.post-39283863895635382382010-08-15T11:04:00.001+05:302010-08-15T11:07:31.534+05:30<div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">A mad adrenalin rush, a quick decision, a few days and a massive level of satisfaction… I hosted my very first outdoor exhibition. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">With over 25 varieties and brand new flavors, I was enthusiastic about the response from the public and I have got a good one. I learnt new ways to promote and new things to make. I learnt how to sell and how to understand criticism in the true spirit of offering taste.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">And there is way more to learn. I am just poting some pictures on facbook and a link to it. <a href="http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=191297&amp;id=525635993&amp;l=280942fc60">Click Here</a>.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">If you were there, then post your comments. If not, I will keep you posted on the next one. Thank you all who came and tried my (what I would like to call) ambrosia. Cheers!</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7642316509139373540-3928386389563538238?l=maggieschocs.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Maggiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03451810782875481744noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7642316509139373540.post-56193296138726447312010-05-23T11:19:00.001+05:302010-05-23T11:20:29.718+05:30<div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Judith Viorst once said, “Strength is the ability to break a chocolate bar into four pieces with your bare hands - and then eat just one of those pieces.” She could not have put it any better.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For ages, actually, forever, chocolate has been the source of indulgence. It has been energy at some occasions and pure pleasure at other. It’s been a tradition in some cultures and for some people, it’s but a luxury, “a poor man’s champagne” if you will. But it has been at the center of celebration and sometimes, if not consumed as chocolate in its purest form, it has manifested itself into pies and cakes, brownies and ice-creams; even bouquets.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For me, chocolate was a calling… it beckoned me to explore its nature and its science and I trusted my gut… I answered the call of chocolate.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It was a long time ago when I first tried some experiments with molten chocolate. I tried learning from some experts and went by the book when it came to some recopies that I was asked to try. But I was not satisfied… chocolate has no boundaries. It’s an ocean and every dive you risk, you will only find pearls. I then began my true love affair with chocolate.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Today, I have reached a stage where I know that no matter what I do with it, chocolate never goes wrong. And with that zeal and faith, I have been able to create, experiment and invent over 30 different flavors, shapes, textures and fillings with this divine food and I know this is only the beginning.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Welcome to my world… the world I find blissfully dark and sweet… my world of chocolate!</span></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7642316509139373540-5619329613872644731?l=maggieschocs.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Maggiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03451810782875481744noreply@blogger.com0
