I was thrilled when I heard the Salon du Chocolat was coming back to New York this year. I had attended for a few years when they were in the city, including their last in 2011 along with the amazing fashion show. This is a great even for the chocolate lovers, lots of chocolate to taste, purchase, demos on how to bake with chocolate and the fashion show. Admission is $25 for Adult in advance, $35 at the door and for Children 6-12 $10, under 6 years old free. 

Here are some of my photos from the past shows, including the amazing fashion show, where all clothes were made from chocolate.

Francois Payard at the 2010 Chocolate Show New York City

I was very thrilled to be able to see Francois Payard in person at the 2010 Chocolate Show. He was pretty amazing and he made a Chocolate Yuzu Cream Cheese Layer Cake. Yuzu is a Japanese citrus fruit that has a very fragrant rind and sour flesh and juice. You can use orange, grapefruit, or lemon juice. The recipe was from Chocolate Epiphany, Exceptional Cookies, Cakes, and Confections for Everyone........
the book where the recipe was taken  
he seemed very down to earth and signed a book for a lucky fan 
mixing the cake with his assistant  
the cake is in the front...with the wonderful cream cheese filling  
he is mixing more filling here

About the Chocolate Show
Founded in 1997 by Sylvie Douce and François Jeantet, two French entrepreneurs with a great passion for chocolate, The Chocolate Show was quickly adopted by New York City as one of its favorite shows, and has become the largest and one of the most popular events devoted to chocolate in the United States. The New York Chocolate Show is one of many international Salon du Chocolat events produced annually by Sylvie Douce and François Jeantet. In 2010, shows will be presented in Paris, Tokyo and six cities in Japan, Shanghai, Madrid, Cairo and Moscow.

I am so excited to be attending this show as it is the most fabulous chocolates from all over the world. They are also famous for making clothes out of chocolate, what a treat to view such masterpieces!! Please stay tuned to this blog for coverage of the events on Saturday, November 13th. If you are traveling to the city during the show, many gifts make for great items to bring back home to family and friends...don't forget the holidays in December as well to do some early holiday shopping.
