Tips for Sweet Holiday Treats
By Janet Collins, Georgia Straight
Chocolate needn’t be daunting to home cooks. “The wonderful thing about chocolate is that even when it’s bad, it’s good,” says Hodie Rondeau, owner of Xoxolat (pronounced “sho-sho-la”). Located at 2391 Burrard Street, the store boasts an impressive array of chocolate treats from all over the world, as well as some unique concoctions made on-site. The Canadian Breakfast Bar (which features maple-smoked bacon) may be an acquired taste, but the Salt & Pepper and Chai flavours have wide appeal.
Rondeau notes that if chocolate is at the heart of a recipe, it should be of the best quality.
