A note from me
I didn’t come to chocolate through formal training - I learned by doing, testing, and making mistakes.
This book is a reflection of that process. It’s not about perfection or shortcuts, but about understanding the material and improving over time.
If you’re curious about chocolate and want to explore it properly, I hope this gives you a clear and approachable place to start.
