Superstar chef James Close, of the two Michelin star Raby Hunt in Darlington, has teamed up with Maria Gueva to launch a range of top-notch chocolates.
Just 1,000 pieces were made for the launch of Chocolate with Attitude at Fenwick Food Hall, Newcastle in May and featured six bite-sized chocs and two bars produced by the chefs. The combinations included Skull, which is made from honey, rosemary ganache and yuzu gel, and Buddha, which comprises white chocolate, pine nut, Gianduju, crispy Dacquoise and smoked Maldon salt. Sweet!
