RAISING YOUR

CHOCOLATE IQ

Hi! I’m Ruth.

I make, teach, and taste chocolate for a living—and I’m still endlessly curious about it. I’ve followed cacao from farms in Mexico, Ecuador, and Brazil to bonbons and bars here in Santa Monica, and I love helping people discover what makes really good chocolate so interesting.

Come visit me at Petitpain et Chocolat, my new R&D micro-factory in Santa Monica, for hands-on chocolate experiences and private events.

You can also book one of my Airbnb Experiences:
