Chocolatier, pâtissier, Food Network Canada host and owner of West Vancouver’s Temper Chocolate & Pastry dishes about the newest addition to his impressive list of titles—Cookbook Author.
by Catherine Dunwoody
Congrats on your new cookbook! What can you tell us about it?
Chocolate All Day launches on October 17th, and it’s the bake book you’ve been waiting for, with over 100 rich, delicious, recipes for baking with chocolate all day long.
How long have you been a judge on Food Network Canada’s Great Chocolate Showdown?
We will be airing season 4 soon, and it’s also on the CW in the USA.
What was your goal in writing your first cookbook?
I wanted to take the intimidation out of working with chocolate, and I’ve meticulously tested these recipes so people can make these amazing creations on their own at home.
Do you have a favourite recipe?
I like a lot of them, but if I was to choose, I’d say the chocolate mocha mud pie. Ice cream cakes are my favourite. The easiest recipes are the chocolate bars, it’s great practice as well to try and temper chocolate.
