. . . a divine, celestial drink, the sweat of the stars, the
vital seed, divine nectar, the drink of the gods, panacea and universal
medicine."
—Geronimo Piperni, Spanish army
surgeon, 1796
It's been a while since I've visited Savannah, one of my favorite cities for a million reasons. My next trip will most definitely include a stop at Chocolat by Adam Turoni.
Adam grew up in Pennsylvania and studied under the tutelage of some of the world's best chefs at the Culinary Institute of America. Later, chef Peter Greweling—"chocolate guru"—introduced him to the alchemy of the cacao bean.
"Bon bons became studded jewels filled with liquid gold," he says. The fortunate residents of Savannah embraced Adam and his delicious art whole-heartedly. He is "spinning chocolates that taste like the magic of memories."
Oh yes, indeed. Look at these drool-worthy photos by Lily Lewin and resist if you can.
