Event Details

Chef and chocolate expert Maria Brandriff will demonstrate the delicious ways in which we can celebrate chocolate and our health at the same time in her new program, "Chocolate Wars," at the Main Library on February 8.

In a decadent “Taste-Off,”  participants will sample and compare chocolate desserts in traditional  v.  healthy versions, and decide the “winners.”  Recipes, samples, and even a small take-away are all part of the fun planned just in time for Valentine’s Day. 

 

Ms. Brandriff grew up in a Ukrainian household where Viennese-inspired tortes and confections dominated every holiday.  As she became more knowledgeable about working with chocolate she experimented with traditional recipes and began to develop her own variations, culminating in hundreds of chocolate truffles produced every year for family and friends during the holidays. 

Ms. Brandriff completed the Certificate of Gastronomy program at the University of New Haven in 2003, later traveling to the city of Arles in France for an intensive apprenticeship with a noted Provenal chocolatier. Last winter, Ms Brandriff was the featured chef at the Chef’s Table series at Zinc Restaurant in New Haven.

 

$5 will be collected at the door for this special Valentine program, and space is limited! Please register here or call the library at 203-946-8835.
