Chocolate is a dietary MUST… on Mt. Everest that is.{0}
In a blog tracking his hike up Mt. Everest, Michael Kobold speaks of the hardships and struggles in climbing the most unforgiving mountain in the world. Through the bitter cold nights and days, Kobold says that “Having good chocolate to eat while on an expedition into the high Himalaya is not an extravagance but an essential dietary complement.” If only we all could have such a compelling reason to feast on chocolate everyday!

I have loved baking and cooking since I was a child. I studied foods and nutrition in college, but my secret desire was to own my own restaurant. Participation in a culinary program landed me jobs in several upscale restaurants, where I discovered my passion for baking and pastries. In 1981 I opened my bakery, Tarts and Truffles, in Sacramento, CA. Realizing a need for trained, knowledgeable bakers, I began teaching baking classes in the culinary arts program at American River College in 1990. I hope you will find my interest in high quality baking reflected in every product we sell.
