| Chocolates at Donna Toscana |
Passyunk Avenue dessert restaurant Golosa (806 S. 6th St.) is giving chocoholics a perfectly elegant excuse for eating the whole box.� This Thursday from 6-10 p.m., they will offer five- or ten-piece tastings of� new, culinary-inspired truffles called Gastronomie Chocolat.� The collection is a collaboration between local chocolatier Diane Pinder and James Beard Award-winning chef Craig Shelton.
Pinder, who owns Donna Toscana Artisan Chocolate Lounge in Cranford, NJ, as well as Donna & Co. chocolates,� paired unexpected ingredients like lemon and basil or blue cheese and Tellicherry peppercorn with her rich, high cacao-percentage chocolates to create the Gastronomie Chocolat line.
Choose a five- ($15) or ten ($28) piece tasting, complete with two shots of drinking chocolate and a glass of Layer Cake Shiraz, at Thursday's tasting event.� Guests are also welcome to bring their own wine, beer or spirit pairing.
RSVP to 215-925-1003 or reservations@golosacafe.com.
