Chloé Doutre-Roussel, 'the chocolate angel'
Chloé Doutre-Roussel, 'the chocolate angel', is a woman with a mission - to teach the world about chocolate. An agronomist by trade, she worked around the world for the UN before devoting herself to chocolate. She has worked as head of confectionary at Laduree in Paris, and currently works as chocolate buyer at Fortnum and Mason in London.
For Chloé, chocolate is a passion, a focus that enables you to structure your life positively. 'You need to know what brings you happiness - and how to invite the ingredients for happiness into your life.'
She grew up in Mexico and has worked in chocolate factories, as a taster for chocolatiers, and currently spends her time travelling the world in search of the world's finest chocolates. She also runs chocolate-tasting courses and acts as an adviser to many top chocolatiers.
Chloé is the author of our beautifully produced book, The Chocolate Connoisseur, just published this month, in which she reveals the secrets of what chocolate to eat, when to eat it, how to eat it, and most importantly, how to overcome the idea that chocolate is an indulgence. She debunks the myths and explores the fascinating psychology of chocolate.
Packed with amazing stories, tasting notes for the world's finest chocolates, history, myths, recipes and 'chocolate philosophy', this book will inspire you to become a true chocolate connoisseur.
