Desiderio

Ok my husband is offering me to ,instead of building his shed outside ( where he already put the concrete slab )to build me a shop, for my chocolates. Now that would be great , its a little space but its all I need ,it is separate from the house, has its own door/ entrance, and its right in my back yard. I dont think that requiremnets for chocolate making lab are too complicated, but still I would need to match the state (?) standards etc. Where would I need to go to find out what exactly I need to have a licenced lab? Dep. of health? Thank you againnn

I do as well use always only bittersweet , because I dont have any unsweetned and I always forget to buy it , so whenever I make brownies I use bittersweet

It would be good to know shipping /weight charges,for the fall . Thank you for your feed back guys ).Its just me I am terribly shy when I got to call ,but lik you all have said most of this place have very nice people, even online whenever I deal with a company they are extremely nice,Glerup was always very helpfull and fast to respond or let me know if something was out of stock.I am not in Italy anymore , here people treat their costumer with respect and kindness ( haha I am from Rome and they are as rude as they came )

I am interested in the wine fridge and the silica gel packs, can you tell us more about it ? Thank you

Hehe , I guess its all up to personal taste , but please let us know how they turn , too bad we cant taste them .

I thought the same , I mean honestly I didnt have the courage to order overseas, with the exchange and all , I am a little bit afraid , but again like you said if we can order a big amount on larger scale that wouldnt be a problem.I do think their tranfer sheets are simply gougeus, and I will try the next season , since I dont want to risk shipping in this heat.I looked at the Qzina site often and I dont like the fact that they dont have prices and you cant order online without knowing prices ,I hate buying by phone. How did you order the transfer sheets ( and other things ) from them? thank you

On my taste I would omit the vanilla and the sugar, the white chocolate is already sweet enough and the trimoline is going to add sweetness ( thats on my taste of course )

Do you think that they would be higher than if you ordered from pcb?? I mean the euro is very high on the dollar at this moment plus shipping overseas??

this site has some , but I dont know if they carry the one you want. http://yourchocolateshop.com/index.php?cPa...5839b36f2595479

Thank you :-)

Thank you Steve , I love to hear from you guys your experiences, its a investement better do my homeworks first , it seems all of you love your Rev . Oh another question , do I need to buy it directly form the company or I can buy form another source ( cheaper ) , I mean for warranty and extend warranty pourpose?

Cool ,Mark thank you thats such a great ideaa ( how handy are you guys!!!!!?)

Thank you , for the link

I wanted to add from my point of view thatI have noticed here in the USA, there are good number of women professional that own their own business and alots of them that teach in schools , I mean some schools are mostrly women , and lots of business are molsty women owned.This is inspiring for me , in Italy all the schools and classes are teached by men and only men, the big business and small for what it matter are men owned .I am sorry I do have the same problem Anthony thinks he have ( but he did great ) I cant explain myself sometimes ( and spelling hehe ), I just meant to say that here in the USA women professionals are stronger and more determinated than elsewhere I have seen ,they get their own place and they do an awesom job at it.ANother thing I think ( and thats me ) many women are not to supporting with each other and I always find that a big down side for us , I usually try to be as suppostive as I can with the same sex and it just come naturally , and I think it makes a big difference in other people life ( women ). What I wanted to say is that women here do make the difference you can see them they do not stay in the shadow , maybe isnt 50%50% yet but I can see the difference coming from another world, and I ammire you gals and thank you for the inspiration you gave to other women that are thinking of making their profession in a field that is always been a men world .

Yes the price difference is quite a bit and I could get a wheel one for that price like you said. Thank you

I agreee .Those nougats are gourgeus , make me think of summer in Italy at those markets where they usually sell them in all shapes and consistence ,ahhhhhh ( I am home sick can you tell? ).I was thinking to make some myself few weeks ago , then time is against and nothing happend . I like this lets keep it going , I will have some production for the next week or so ( I have some days off finally )and for sure I will post my experiments etc. Thank you Kerry PS: one qestion , where canI find the rice paper ( if thats what you used in Italy we call them ostie) to make the nougat?

Thank you ,I thought that the chocovision needed a little bit of experimenting in order to get the right temper all the time , as you said dependes the chocolate. I was wondering what is the real different between the two big ones ; http://www.selectappliance.com/exec/ce-pro...ation-x3210-2pc this one http://www.selectappliance.com/exec/ce-pro...v_revolation-k5 and this one,other than 2500$.

Good point on the renting , that is going to be my case and a machine that I can move easily would be a better option at this point, even though those nice temperer with the wheel are soo tempting

That would be agood price. Thank you Mark

Thank you for posting the result , because I want to make some basil ones next week and I was wondering about the bittrness of some herbs infused etc.Thank you.

Thank you David, for your feedback.I was wondering with the rev , I have seen many time people that used them complained about chocolate not getting perfectly temper on some occasion, and I am wondering if its just depends on what chocolate you use and have to get use to the machine .I can immagine working with a good amount of chocolate and be out of temper ,that would definatly irritate me .Those are definatly more affordable as well in the event I have to buy one , wich I will probably do soon.

I did some caramels with one of the Wybauw butter caramles recipes, and instead of using vanilla I used dryed lavander , infused in the cream then strained and proceded with recipe.Very nice , even though the caramel itself didnt impress me too much, meaning that I loved the lavender flavor ( I love lavender truffles )but the caramel could have been better.

Wow, Thank you Mark, Thats a great idea/suggestion.I will go and get one this weekend then ,with a tray

Thank you Kerry .Oh oh all those goodies make me want to go get a nice loan

So I got one of those little dental vibrating table out of ebay and they look exactley like the base of those candy mold shakers out of ebay that cost almost 200$ .I am wondering if any of you have an idea how to place a tray on top of that and make my own,the table is only 4 inch of diameter so I do need to get something to built a larger surface I belieave. Well if you have any idea let me know. Thank you much.
