Last night saw the final of the 2015 Godiva Chocolate Challenge held at our Wigmore Street showroom.
Four talented young finalists toiled away on our Alno kitchen displays crafting their chocolate and meringue deserts to present for judging by the impressive panel of William Sitwell, the MasterChef TV critic, Mark Hix, the leading UK chef, Gizzi Erskine, chef and food writer and head Godiva chocolatier Jean Apostolou.
The judges were very impressed with the level of competition - and looking at the finished finalists' dishes we can see why.
Reigning Chocolate Queen Heather Bennett was again victorious, winning the judges over with her raspberry and chocolate meringue yumminess. A well deserved winner - congratulations Heather!
Heather's winning dessert - 'Come Fly With Me' will be featured on the menu of one of Mark Hix's restaurants for one week.
In addition to seeing lots of lovely chocolate based deserts being made on our beautiful displays we also got the chance to try some of the delicious Godiva chocolates and see their iconic chocolate dipped strawberries being made.
