Just a quick one here. Delighted to learn that Julia Wenlock,
whose TootSweets chocolate evening I wrote about just before Easter, has won a major, and highly coveted, national award. We should all be so proud of Julia - and
hotfooting it to the market to buy her chocs.
The Award was presented by the Academy
of Chocolate, founded by leading chocolate professionals with the purpose of promoting greater awareness of real chocolate in its unadulterated form. The ceremony took place at Fortnum
& Masons, and Julia received the Silver Award for handmade Salted Caramels
in the Best Filled Chocolate category before an audience of key movers and
shakers from the world of fine chocolate.
There is no surprise on my part
about this award. Two chocolates
above all others stood on Julia’s chocolate evening. Her lavender-filled chocolates, using lavender from a farm
near Newport, were sensational.
But her salted caramels were without doubt the most eatable chocolates so far in
my long love affair with chocolate.
Congratulations Julia.
