There are also conferences dealing with such subjects as the History of Chocolate and Chocolate and Health, workshops for children, and competitions including a Duel de Choc in which amateur chefs have a face off and throw down the recipe gauntlet. There’s even an opportunity for young talents and amateur chefs to strut their stuff in live demos before an audience of hundreds.
