Chocolate Tasting with Jacques Torres
Jacques Torres of Jacques Torres Chocolates in New York City explains exactly what chocolate is to Ted Allen of the Food Network. Cacao
beans and cocoa butter, sugar, vanilla and lecithin makes up dark chocolate. Milk chocolate is dark chocolate with a little bit milk of milk powder. For the chocolate tasting: Go to the market and buy about four types of gourmet chocolates. Figure on 1-2 ounces of each chocolate per person.

Begin with the chocolate with the lowest cacao content first, and progress to the stronger, more bitter, stronger stronger chocolate. The most important aspects of a chocolate tasting is to pay attention to sight, sound (snap), smell and taste. Watch the Food Network’s video for the rest of Jacques Torres Chocolate Tasting.
