Chocolatier Lives The Caribbean Dream With Floating Chocolate Workshops


17 April 2012

Success is proving sweet for top chocolatier Gerry Wilton, who is once again hosting his popular chocolate making classes on board a cruise ship.

Gerry, founder of popular chocolate events company Chocolate Delight, first found himself on the crest of a wave three years ago when he was asked to hold his floating chocolate workshops on board a superliner as it cruised Greenland and the Fjords.

Since then, his chocolate making sessions have proved so popular among passengers that he has now taken to the high seas for the sixth time, this time on board cruise ship Thomson Dream for a 14 night cruise of the Caribbean islands returning across the Atlantic to Madeira. 

During the transatlantic crossing, passengers will be able to take part in six different 'Art of Chocolate Making' sessions run by Gerry.

As well as chocolate truffle making, the sessions include the history of chocolate and chocolate tasting, chocolate pizza making, chocolate portrait painting and chocolate shoe making.

"The chocolate making workshops are always really popular on cruise ships," said Gerry, who also owns and runs the world's first chocolate themed hotel, The Chocolate Boutique Hotel in Bournemouth.

"They're a great way of spending time during the days at sea.  In fact, I do the truffle session twice to make sure passengers still have a supply of chocolates to take home with them after they have eaten the first batch."

Thomson's Caribbean Crossing cruise, which visits Barbados and Grenada as well as St Vincent, St Lucia and Antigua, departed on 15th April.

A recipe for perfect Yorkshire pudding

Image
A lot is spoken about Yorkshire pudding but is in not such a very difficult thing to do. All it is, is a batter mix that is put in a mould with some oil so that it soufflés up as it bakes. As long as you follow a few simple rules then you should have a perfect pudding every time. To make the batter you will need. 125g/8oz plain flour 300ml/¾ pint milk 2 eggs Pinch of salt Some vegetable oil. Now a lot of propel say that you need a strong bread flour to make a god batter for Yorkshire puddings but I have found that over time it does not really matter. But if you are going to use a strong flour let it rest for a little longer to allow the glutens to start working and get soaked up in the liquid . Take you flour and sift it in to a bowel to make sure that you do not get any lumps. Then make a well in the middle and crack your eggs in to that. Now taking a whisk start to work the eggs in to the flour. It will start to from a thick paste. If you think that it is getting to hard to work then
