About

Greetings! I'm Victoria Cooksey and my love for all things chocolate lead me to pursue getting chocolate certifications which include Certificates of Achievement in Chocolate Technique & Mastering Chocolate Flavor from Ecole Chocolat.

I also have an IWC (Intermediate Wine Certificate) from the International Sommelier Guild.

Essential Vegan Desserts Course Rouxbe graduate.

Did you know I also post chocolate reviews, and recipe videos on YouTube? I hope you will check them out! Be sure to watch, like, share and subscribe to my channel.

Five days a week I start off with a cup of craft drinking chocolate to get me through the day, and then have a coffee, or latte on the other two days. (I occasionally switch it up with a cup of Criobru instead). I often NEED a bite of dark chocolate mid-morning, or mid-afternoon to keep me going, and then I taste test, or re-taste, at least one craft chocolate bar daily to make my tasting notes.

Living in the Pacific Northwest lends ease in finding outdoor background shots for my craft chocolate bar review pics. I love picking out new shots!

I also do the occasional bit of consulting work in which a craft chocolate maker sends me a new chocolate bar or other chocolate item experiment in which I respond by giving private feedback on taste, texture, and so forth.
