A few years ago, when I was working as a Research Scientist – Product Development at Leatherhead Food Research, I attended the Speciality and Fine Food Fair in search of innovative new products to curate a New Product Exhibition.

I couldn’t keep away from the chocolate producers and the event now has a designated area for fine chocolate complete with a stage for live demos: the Speciality Chocolate Fair.

My Bean-to-Bar Partner-in-Crime, Dom Ramsey, was invited to give a demonstration on Home Bean to Bar Chocolate Production. Since we carried out a Bean to Bar demo together at The Grenada Chocolate Festival 2016, Dom asked me if I would like to join him. Of course, I happily obliged!

Here is a little video of us preparing for the demo with my trusty can of chick peas, by Jamie Kemp:

And a snippet of us carrying out the demo can be found on my Instagram:
