In 2013, I created a small “user’s manual” about chocolate. I prepared and then photographed several classic chocolate confections, plus some of my favorites. The Chocolate Lovers’ Manual was born with the help of a few chocolate-loving friends, and a lot of chocolate.

As I melted into the world of chocolate, my brain became more addicted…not only to chocolate as a food and beverage, but to the whole idea of its impact on health, fashion, art, (music?) and more!

This blog is dedicated to you — all the Chocolate Lovers whose hearts beat for chocolate.

Welcome to CocoBeat — the lifestyle of chocolate!
