I am a virgin to chocolate and candy making. I have just spent the last 2 days reading all your posts, all the way back to 2003. My mind is blown away. I live in South Africa, where most of the equipment and products you use are totally unknown - except to the professional chocolatiers, I would imagine. I am going to continue to read and learn from you all and soon I hope to be able to participate in your very exciting discussions. Rose&Thorn Cape Town South Africa
