Ruth and Juliana will have just returned from the Northwest Chocolate Festival where they will have picked out the best of the best of craft chocolate for your enjoyment. You will delve into the world of Brazilian chocolate as well as taste Ruth and Juliana’s favorites from the festival.  Juliana, who is master in cacao evaluation and flavor profiling as well as chocolate tasting will lead us through this unique journey. 

About Juliana Aquino:
Juliana Aquino is a unique force in the chocolate world, combining her expertise as a chocolatier with her role as a cacao farmer. From nurturing cacao trees in Brazil to crafting artisanal chocolate bars, her "tree to bar" approach offers an unparalleled perspective on the chocolate-making process. Her commitment to quality and sustainable practices is evident in every bite of her chocolate. And her palate is second to none when it comes to the art of tasting and evaluation cacao and chocolate.

The Santa Monica Chocolate Society is a club of sorts that celebrates and savors the finest, rarest, most delicious chocolates on Earth.

Once a month, we gather to taste regional bean-to-bar chocolates and explore everything chocolate, often with a guest speaker ranging from cacao farmers to craft chocolate makers themselves.

Led by The Gourmandise School chocolate expert Ruth Kennison, the group is inspired by her many adventures across the equatorial “chocolate belt” and her work with craft chocolate makers. Ruth shares whatever’s fresh and exciting from her wonder cabinet of carefully curated bars and bonbons at each gathering. Interested in more?

Shabbat is arguably the most important of Jewish celebrations, a weekly occasion to give thanks to God for the creation, as prescribed by the fourth commandment, and to spend time with family and friends. On Shabbat we recite a blessing called Kiddush, during which we bless a glass of wine and two loaves of a special bread called challah, which we will prepare together. Wine is the symbol of joy, while the challah references the double portion of manna that the Lord gave the Jews in the desert.


Shabbat is specifically a day of rest: all work must be suspended, including cooking, so everything we eat on this day is prepared ahead and only gently reheated as needed.

In our class we will cook a few traditional Roman Shabbat dishes: two mains (long-cooked beef stew with tomato sauce and chicken meatballs with celery and carrots), two sides (spinach and couscous), and a sweet, gluten-free treat to end the meal (almond cookies).
