A Sweet Day In Richland

Prepared by Craig (’19) and Anthony Ambrose (’21)

Mr. Justin Zaslow of Pierre’s Chocolates (New Hope, Pennsylvania) made a special trip to St. Augustine to speak with the Culinary Discoveries Club during Enrichment Period. He is a graduate of the Natural Gourmet Institute of NYC and a passionate chocolatier. Culinary Discoveries welcomed Justin to Richland to learn more about life as a chocolatier, the daily operations of Pierre’s Chocolates and the detailed process of producing gourmet chocolates. The day also involved the sampling of some of the fine chocolates that Mr. Zaslow helps produce for Pierre’s. In addition to learning more about chocolates from around the world, Justin provided some business advice for any future shop owners.

Mr. Zaslow ended the presentation by inviting Chef Berti and Culinary Discoveries to make a trip to his shop very soon.
