Perhaps you have been to one of his stores in NYC or seen Jacques Torres on his Food Network show on chocolate. He truly is an all around good guy and super passionate about his chocolate.
I stopped by his Haven to catch up this week and he gave me a personal tour of the factory. My favorite part - the winnower of course - this is the machine that breaks cacao beans into nibs, so they can be eaten in little peaces (think sweetriot). :)
Jacques does want to be the Willy Wonka of NYC - I on the other hand want to be the cacao-girl. Thus, we are perfect chocolate & cacao loving friends & partners. Thanks, Jacques, for the tour! So glad I'm your neighbor now! (Did I mention I now live 2 blocks from the Haven - wow!)
