Classes for chocolatiers

As they munch their way through their Easter eggs this weekend, budding chocolatiers might be interested to know that the Lorge Chocolatier School, based in Kenmare Co. Kerry, is currently running one and two day classes on making chocolate. The school offers a range of courses, from beginner to professional classes, that cover everything from the history of chocolate to marketing strategies for future businesses. The classes are expensive (the one-day 'pro chocolate course' costs €180) but they are limited to four students per class and given by Master Chocolatier Benoit Lorge.
