Kamasutra Chocolate to Macaron Earrings, NY Chocolate Show 2012 Closing Nov 9

November 11, 2012 by serge the concierge

The NY Chocolate Show is one of my favorite food events of the year, for first time in 6 years I will miss it.

The 2012 edition concludes today, Sunday November 9.

I would have liked to sample the Caneles by Myriam of Manu Creation for first time at the event, all the way from Bordeaux region.

Some of Myriam's creations called 'Gourmands Jewels' (Bijoux Gourmands) like the macarons earrings above reminded me of Delicious Jewels book yet in an affordable version.

Brazil also sends a newcomer to the show with CooperBahia (Cooperativa de Bahia) who from what i get from their website is more a productor of raw product (cacao) thana chocolate maker.

In the cookies rather than chocolate category, the Chalumeaux d' Albi and Roquefort and Walnut Aristocades presented by Crossings make me hungry.

Cote d'Azur is represented by Jean-Luc Pele from Cannes who credits a visit to Khajuraho (India) and its spices as a recent source of inspiration. Did it also play a role in his Kamasutra chocolates?

Wondering if his 'Marmite Dentelle' above was part of his display in New York.

A quick overview of newcomers I missed on by not being able to attend NY Chocolate Show 2012.
