Description
Reason to rejoice: Chocolate is actually good for you.
Yep, the stories about cacao’s health benefits aren't fake news invented as an excuse to chow down on candy bars.
Skeptical? Don’t take our word for it. Listen to an expert.
Billy Penn and Independence LIVE! are bringing in one of the world’s top chocolate authorities to talk about its health benefits — and to demonstrate how to make the most delicious hot cocoa you've ever tasted.
Philly native Robert Campbell is co-owner of Sazon, a Venezuelan restaurant on Spring Garden, and a renowned cacao authority. Nicknamed “The Chocolate Alchemist,” Campbell has been working with chocolate and creating recipes for 26 years.
At this demo in the spacious IBX Live! showkitchen, he’ll lead us through the ways you can use cacao and chocolate as a vehicle for flavor, nutrition and energy. Expect tastes from his line of single-origin bars, pours of tasty-but-healthy hot chocolate, and a recipe for how to recreate the drink at home.
