On September 9th, Kim Larkin of Klassic Kreations will return to the Southborough Library.
Many of her past programs have covered pairing chocolate with tea. This time, she’ll be talking about pairing it with America’s favorite morning beverage — coffee.
Registration is required to participate in the “Perky Pairing” workshop. The event is scheduled for Saturday, September 9th from 1:00 – 2:30 pm.
Larkin promotes of her workshop:
In this fun, educational 1 hour workshop, participants will hear about the health benefits of both dark chocolate and coffee, and where they come from.
We will pair coffee provided with different chocolate varieties throughout the class. Each person will receive a coffee-chocolate tasting wheel to help throughout the tasting.
The interesting history of both coffee and chocolate and its pioneers will be discussed. How the cacao bean and the coffee bean transform into chocolate and coffee respectively is also highlighted, as well as exploring a variety of brewing methods.
We’ll discuss coffee’s timeline, how coffee is “taken” around the globe, the very first Baristas and much more. We wrap up the class with a fun, interactive quiz!
Registration is available for anyone ages 12 and older. To sign up, click here.
The workshop is part of the Library’s series of food programs made possible with grant funds from the Library Services & Technology Act distributed by the Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners.
