spoon & pod: baking supplies bean to bar crafted by a baker.
“I’m especially particular about the chocolate, because it definitely makes a difference: I always try to buy bean-to-bar baking chocolate, whether it’s from makers as ubiquitous as Guittard or as hard-to-come-by as Map, a small-batch craft chocolate company.”

“It is a fundamental fact that no cook, however creative and capable, can produce a dish of a quality any higher than that of its raw ingredients.”
~~Alice Waters
I came to craft chocolate as a long-time baker, from my first easy bake oven straight through to pastry school in the 1980’s. When I began baking with chocolate I made with my own two hands it was an incredible joy, and a revelation: there’s no such thing as “just” chocolate. I hope you enjoy it as much as I love imaging my chocolate in your hands.
