Sugar Savvy

I first discovered Choclatique chocolates at the Los Angeles Luxury Chocolate Salon, which I attended last month. You can read my review of that event here.
This Southern California based company was founded in 2003 by Ed Engoron and Joan Vieweger, who have created a dazzling variety of over 150 chocolates, all of which are hand-made, […]

This past Sunday was the 2nd annual Los Angeles Luxury Chocolate Salon. The Chocolate Salon is a chocolate show in the Los Angeles area that takes place at the Pasadena Center, where chocolate lovers can taste artisan and gourmet chocolate, as well as hear chefs and authors talk about their products.
I was fortunate enough to […]

As I am now back in Australia, it seems fitting that I choose an Australian-made piece of confectionary to review instead of one of the many US-bought chocolate bars I brought back with me in my suitcase. Sweet William is a company that makes chocolates free from dairy, gluten, lactose, sugar, cholesterol, peanuts, trans fats, […]

Talk about irony. A few short years ago, you wouldn’t have been able to get me to touch a block of white chocolate with a 10-foot pole, and now? Now it’s become an incredible luxury, a culinary diamond in my eyes, and I’ve become completely enamored with its simple existence. Simple indeed, because as I’m […]

A few weeks ago, there was a plate full of Lindt Chocolates at work. Before all of them were gone, I grabbed the perfectly wrapped balls of truffle chocolates.
I tried the gold wrapped one first. It had white chocolate hard shell with creamy white chocolate in the middle. The red one was even more […]

While I was home for Thanksgiving break, my friend Cassie took me to That Popcorn Place on the downtown Drag near UT. What a wonderful food find! They’ve got dozens and dozens of flavors of popcorn, from the savory (ranch, cajun, sour cream and onion, bacon and cheese) to the candied (caramel, vanilla, orange) to […]

The folks at Hershey have just unveiled their newest contribution to the world of sweets … a new website, dubbed “the ultimate resource for all things chocolate,” http://www.allchocolate.com/.
The site is sponsored by The Hershey Company and is filled with history, and health benefits, uses and resources for chocolate. Divided into six different areas, it […]

In honor of Valentine’s Day, the Well Fed team was sent two boxes of chocolates from Ethel’s Chocolates. I have often noticed one of Ethel’s cocoa and pink speckled locations on my visits to Chicago, though have never been inside. When our editor Cate asked if anyone would like to review them, I jumped at […]

If you’re like me, you love making food gifts to give. They’re easy, inexpensive, and mean so much more than a store-bought treat. Plus, who doesn’t enjoy receiving a box full of homemade yummies? With Christmas right around the corner, forgo store-bought goodies for homemade treats by dipping all kinds of things in melted […]

Between the summer and fall fruits being harvested, and the holidays rolling around I know there have been lots of pies baked and eaten.  There’s just something about this time of year that makes me think of pie, at least when I think of dessert.  I guess it’s probably because so many people bake up […]
