Share It’s hard to assess a chocolate bar from Hotel Chocolat. I know where they are in my own head but putting it into writing is harder. I love Hotel Chocolat’s range of mini Purist chocolate bars and wish I had taken handfuls at the launch because quite frankly one is just not enough. Yes, [...]

I love Gu and I [...]

Share This review is illicit. That’s right – it’s forbidden. Just by reading it you could be part of the conspiracy. It’s risky and so unless you’re ready to defy “her” you’d best change to a different review now. Why is this such a seditious blog post? Why is there a risk attached to it? [...]

Share Interviewing Damian Allsop was a real pleasure.  You can tell he has a passion for chocolate and importantly MILK FREE CHOCOLATE.  Yep – all you lactose intolerant people can have some of the finest chocolates available from this lovely man.  Yes, from him directly as he is still involved on a daily basis with [...]
