Chocolate in the Northeast
On March 4, Central American chocolate traditions will break through the New England winter at the annual chocolate dinner in Middlebury, Connecticut. This year's event, "Chocolate: Food of the Gods," is a fundraiser for the local Audubon Center, and will feature indigenous ingredients from chocolate's home in Mesoamerica and a learned talk on "the Birth of Cacao" by professor emeritus of anthropology at Yale and chocolate author Michael Coe (see "Chocolate Literary Journeys"). The certified-organic meal includes roast turkey in a chocolate-infused mole poblano sauce, salad dressed in cacao nibs and raspberry vinaigrette, and a final Aztec indulgence in the form of a chocolate-chile cake, all prepared by the executive chef of the ecologically-conscious New Morning Store in nearby Woodbury.
