Clare’s Chocolate Cafes has always used good quality cocoa to make their chocolate products. This is, in itself, an amazing marketing product because customers know that while they may be paying a little bit more, the product is worth it. As well, the organization makes a wise customer draw when each hot beverage is served with a high quality chocolate product. The early practice of making chocolate products by hand and providing individual or pre-packaged products, of all sizes, for the customer to select, was

The lavish black roquelaire absorbed nearly all of the light in the surrounding area which perfectly made a silhouette of Montresor’s figure. The smell of nitre permeated throughout the air like a plague. The smell was so overpowering that I nearly passed out. As I hung there, bound to the wall by cold rusted chains, I could make out the twisted smile of Montresor as he removed his silken mask. I looked him in the eye and could see the hate behind them. It seemed to be more primal and real than anything else I had ever seen. After staring me down, Montresor hastily produced that godforsaken trowel from underneath his cloak and started to lay layer after layer of brick, starting to enclose me into this horrible room. My last view of Montresor

You do not need to have a fascination with French history to enjoy this book. Carhart did an incredible job of interweaving all the different aspects of the book from his childhood in 1950’s France, the history of Chateau Fontainebleau, to him bringing his own family over to France in the 1980’s to live in the town of Fontainebleau. Since the time the author spent living in the quaint town of Fontainebleau as a child he was drawn back like most of us are drawn to chocolate. Therefore, doing a beautiful job of telling the history of Chateau Fontainebleau & who from French history starting in 1137 with King Louis VII made an impact on the evolution of it from a hunting lodge to a magnificent museum.

Set in 1950’s France, Chocolat is a film centred on the Catholic virtue of temperance, or rather the struggle to achieve temperance when the church is faced with the temptation of a 2000 year old chocolate recipe. Temperance is defined in the catholic encyclopaedia as “the righteous habit which makes a man govern his natural appetite for pleasures of the senses in accordance with the norm prescribed by reason”, and in Chocolat it is the Comte de Reynaud, the major and self appointed moral authority for the whole community, that attempts to keep check of the villager’s carnal passions and temptations.

This has been the basis for many French filmmakers, as this is the type of France audience finds most pleasurable to watch. Jeunet has presented to his viewers a stereotypical view of France. Jeunet chose to set Amelie in Montmarte because it deisplays stereotypical qualities of a French wonderland, as well as being aesthetically pleasing. Included in the shots are many stone buildings, clean streets, and beautiful colours, all of which have been cautiously selected, adding to the director’s aspiration of creating a French wonderland. “We worked on everything: moving cars, removing signals, graffiti's...” (Jeunet, JP, 2001). It can be seen that the narrative, characters and underlying message of Amelie are all incredibly positive, and Jeunet has clearly found inspiration from Paris being the city of love, as well as memories from his own life. “I had in mind a box full of tiny happy events and stories. I wanted to use them to make audience feel happy.” (Jeunet, JP, 2001)

The minister asked the staff to create a new dessert that would please his guests, however, the head chef had fallen ill so Franz threw together the items he had in the kitchen and created Sachertorte; a chocolate sponge cake with apricot jam and a bittersweet chocolate coating. The cake has a long history and has had a major influence of Viennese culture as well as the culinary arts across the world.

Thinking in this product makes me want to have some of it. The first impression people might have when they see this dessert is that it might be an expensive and luxurious product because of its embellished packaging. It can be identified by the cute design of the box due to the fact that on the left of the box there is a sumptuous ribbon that its background color is a combination between dark cinnamon and lightly caramel, furthermore, the ribbon has the brand´s name sketched all around it. The theme color of the whole box is pearly white what makes the letters of the brand, written on the top of the box, stand out in a bright gold. Moreover, bellow the ribbon there is a little description in French about the glamorous product and next to it a small window made of transparent plastic where the small pieces of the product are shown to the public. The most interesting thing comes after its purchase. I start feeling the anxiety when it is time to open this fancy box because as
