The Dinner
The evening began with a small chocolate-tasting at which Erik let us taste three varieties of premium chocolate. He also brought cocoa nibs, which are the roasted cocoa beans which stand at the beginning of the chocolate production process. Placing chocolate at its purest form as the start of the night, these were served in the first course. The main course was a chocolate-stoaf, which we generously poured over our pasta and vegetables. We not only had yogurt and fruit as dessert but also an endless choice of chocolate-salamis, each one slightly different from the next. This was the most playful part of the night, with all the guests making their own salamis; choosing from white or dark chocolate and a cornacopia of sweets and dried fruits to add inside. Sweet, vegetarian and a perfect closure of our aphrodisiac night.
