Taste With Colour

Throwback to this epic x .gb event in July. A deep dive into how chocolate is made from tree to bar followed by tasting and painting four chocolate and rum pairings! 🍫🥃🌈🎨

Beautiful shots by 📷

Wow! What an epic citrus tasting 🤩🍋‍🟩🍋🍊

I’ve always wondered… how do you describe the flavour difference between a lemon and a lime? Or a grapefruit and an orange?

From octopus-like Buddhas hand to finger limes, we tasted 20 different citrus varieties from thanks to .london 🤩

I’ve always thought that calamansis would be the next yuzu, but instead I was blown away by a shikwasa which was far more intense and complex with vegetal, bell pepper and tomato vine aromas and a super juicy mandarin and green pepper flesh.

Another standout was the flying dragon (or trifoliate orange) with a peach-like fuzzy skin and notes of sulphury tropical mango and passion fruit. 🥭

The Buddhas hand has no juice and the pith isn’t bitter. It’s has a crunchy apple-like texture with a perfumed, floral and slightly candied peel. I enjoyed the leftovers with some sea salt and olive oil as recommended by Shrub 👌🏼

The finger lime was slightly underwhelming in flavour complexity compared with other more aromatic limes like the makrut or rangpur. It was literally bursting out of its skin as soon as it was cut open. It was like eating a citrus popping candy with its sour caviar pearls. We agreed it was more of a textural experience.

Thanks so much Sam and Harry 🙏🏼

SOLD! 🥰🍫🌈💕

Honoured to have my extra large framed Cacao Rainbow Watercolour print in the hands of the legendary !

I remember tasting some of Aneesh’s water ganaches over 10 years ago 😍. One of the friendliest people in the world of fine chocolate!

Thank you Aneesh! I hope you enjoy the colourful in your office 🍫🌈💕

Proud to see on the wall inside the factory! 🏭🍫🌈🥰

I love that it’s got splatters on it 🫟 from chocolate making!

I often use Chocolate Tree for my tasting & painting workshops because it’s delicious (obvs) but also because they have colourful packaging which is great fun to compare with the paintings! 🎨

Do you stop to smell the roses? 🌹

Here I am, leaning over people’s front garden walls to smell different roses on a summer evening stroll. 👃🏼😅

Some smelled fruity and peach-like, while others had a fresher, greener aroma. The intensity of each rose’s perfume varied, too.

You become a sensory expert through experience, not certification.

Every day, we’re surrounded by opportunities to build our flavour “libraries.”

Did you know that “stop and smell the roses” is an idiom that reminds us to slow down and appreciate the beauty (or flavour, for us 😉) and little joys in life, rather than rushing through it? Building our sensory libraries is an opportunity to practice being present and to find moments of peace in our bustling, busy lives.

Sharing some love for my home cacao gallery wall 🍫🖼️🌈💕

I had this project in mind for years. I collected cacao art from around the world and created some pieces myself.

The second photo is a painting of my cacao gallery wall that I created at a “sip’n’paint” event. This event happened to be on the one year anniversary of the completion on my first home, so it felt very appropriate!

The third photo shows how I hide the existing thermostat that came with the property using Velcro so I can still use it!

The last photo is a classic “before” shot which I find quite satisfying to compare with the final completed project.

I am now dreaming of my next property with more wall space so I can hang more cacao art!
