About this event

Event lasts 2 hours
Ages 21+

Come hungry, for flavor and inspiration. This two-hour, one-night-only gathering at These Hands in Culver City is part tasting party, part writing jam, part delicious excuse to slow down and connect.

You’ll nibble extraordinary craft chocolate brought in by chocolate educator and chocolatier Ruth Kennison, who knows the origin stories behind every bite, from the jungles of Brazil to tiny craft chocolate makers you’ve never heard of (yet). Alongside her, travel & food writer David Hochman (NYT, Forbes, Food & Wine) will offer a few creative prompts to help you turn sensory moments into words, thoughts, perhaps even full-on chocolate epiphanies. And not to overhype, but...you may just go home with Ruth's famous hand-crafted chocolate typewriters.

No writing experience required. No chocolate snobbery allowed. Just come curious and open. We’ll taste, write a little, laugh a lot, and definitely surprise ourselves. You don’t have to share anything aloud—though you just might want to.

Great chocolate. Excellent people. Pen in one hand, bonbon in the other. Let’s go.

Please bring a notebook.

Frequently asked questions

Can we bring wine?

Yes, it will be more fun.

Shall I bring a notebook?

Yes, research shows that writing by hand beats typing for thinking and learning.

Can I bring kids?

No, this is a kid-free event.

What if I'm a vegan?

Sure, you can still come. Please let the organizer know that you are a vegan at least 3 days before the class so that they can accommodate you.

What about other allergies?

Let the organizers know in advance please! The chocolate will be made in a facility that also uses nuts.
