WHAT PEOPLE HAVE SAID ABOUT CAROLE
"You are a dream presenter. Thanks so much for your enthusiastic presentation. You added the perfect element of professionalism and polish to our Death by Chocolate festivities." Linda Carucci, Julia Child Curator of Food Arts, Copia: The American Center for Wine, Food, & the Arts.
"Not only does Carole totally know her way around the dessert kitchen, she has the ability to impart her vast amount of knowledge and skills in a way that everyone can understand. Whether it be as a writer, teacher, or spokesperson, Carole gets people excited about her desserts and fabulous chocolates--and they walk away with the skills and the confidence to recreate them in their own home kitchens." Lesa Heebner, Cookbook Author and Kitchen Designer.
"I always look forward to when Carole is teaching a class at my store. She is a very thorough and enthusiastic teacher and all of the students rave about her. Her desserts are some of the best I've ever tasted, especially those made with chocolate." Aliza Cicerone, Culinary Program Coordinator, Sur La Table (Carlsbad, CA).
"My friend and colleague Carole Bloom is just simply the "go to" gal when it comes to knowledge and insight about anything chocolate and the entire complex world of desserts. I'm not alone in my admiration, she is respected wherever sweet things are celebrated, as a chef of the Einstein variety. I have called her many times, stuck in the midst of trying to suss out some chocolate recipe and she's had the answer at her fingertips. Obviously a lifetime of research and dedication pays off. Carole is also a generous and inspiring teacher. Students leave her classes ready to take their baking and candymaking skills to the next level. Carole is a sweetie." Nicole Aloni, Chef, Teacher, Coach, Author of Cooking For Company and Secrets From A Caterer's Kitchen.
