Chocolate week – what’s not to like? And how about chocolate and champagne, now that’s is a match made in heaven! I was invited to an event that took place at the glamourous Harrods as part of Chocolate week in the UK (8th-14th October 2012). William Curley, award-winning Chocolatier and Patissier and Champagne house Laurent Perrier, founded in 1812 exactly 200 years ago, have joined forces to create the ultimate indulgence: luxurious chocolate and champagne truffles.
The
event was a celebration of chocolate week, a demo by William Curley and the unveilling of the
limited edition William Curley and Laurent-Perrier Christmas gift sets that includes the champagne truffles,
available in Harrods from November 2012, just in time for Christmas. We sampled some delectable cakes and desserts created by William Curley over a glass or two of Laurent Perrier champagne. This cakes are available at Harrods foodhall counters too.
