Michel
Roux Jr sets out to discover the secret of chocolate - not just why we're
addicted to the sublime and complex foodstuff but it’s rich and varied history,
from a sacred drink of Aztec Emperors to the aphrodisiac of choice at the court
of Louis XIV in Versailles.
For
Michel Roux Jr the best chocolate in the world is to be found in France, where
the art of the chocolatier has been handed down from generation to generation.
In this documentary he sets out to create his own unique chocolate flavour to
use in his cooking. He will immerse himself in the world of chocolate, from the
raw cocoa bean to some of the most refined and unusual chocolate creations the
world has seen.
Michel Roux will be tasting and tempering, dipping and decorating to discover
the art of chocolate making as he sets out to create his very own melt in your
mouth chocolate flavour.
