I took Amy's course as a treat to myself, after being left some money. I wanted to be able to make raw chocolate for my family, as I wasn't impressed with the raw chocolate on the market.
It all seemed a bit overwhelming at first, but with Amy's base recipes I started getting creative with different colours and flavours and ended up creating my own recipes and making truffles for friends as well as my family.

Before The Raw Chocolatier course, I'd tried to make a few batches without knowing anything about tempering or right ingredients, which was frustrating and disheartening to say the least.  Finally I found The Raw Chocolatier online and wow...learning about tempering was like learning a hidden secret.  Having the chocolate pop crisply out of the moulds was so exciting!
