Making Stuff

September 3, 2020 by Richard Tango-Lowy

Donna’s baking “nibby” cacao nib scones with housemade mascarpone.

Rachel’s tempering Mesocacao’s El Salvador 70% for capping tangy fruity bonbons.

Rich is cracking and winnowing a test batch of India cacao beans to make chocolate for bars and bonbons.

A fine day for making stuff.
