Sweet fundraiser for Nancy Guy in VA

Make the Resistance Delicious!

Chocolate Tasting

with Alice Medrich

Sunday, September 15, 2019, 3-5 pm

Author, pastry chef, and teacher Alice Medrich is one of the country’s foremost experts on chocolate. Since 1976, when her renowned shop, Cocolat, opened and her first dessert feature appeared in a national publication, Alice’s innovative ideas and recipes have influenced a generation of confectioners, pastry chefs, and home cooks. 

Why Virginia?

 Virginia is one of only four states with statewide elections in 2019.
 EBAA activists helped VA Dems flip 15 Republican-held House seats in the 2017 state election, the biggest electoral Dem shift since 1899.  
 We need to pick up only 2 seats in each chamber to shift VA to Democratic control.
 Virginia Republicans have extensively gerrymandered districts. We can undo widespread voter disenfranchisement and help Virginia to send Democrats to Congress!

 

Alice will lead us on a journey to learn:

 What is chocolate, its origins, and how it’s made
 Definitions such as cacao percentage, single origin, etc.
 The bean to bar movement and the rise of craft chocolate, with a focus on local chocolatiers
 How to taste chocolate, and taste we will! Presentation followed by sweet and savory chocolate dishes.

 What a sweet way to flip Virginia!
