While she was the Editor of Chocolatier Magazine, Joan received a number of products each day that people wanted her to review and taste, two of the more memorable standouts were chocolate garlic truffles from Gilroy, CA, the garlic capital of the world and Chudge, which was like a big block of cheddar cheese fudge. “It’s just funny what people came up with and it just absolutely blew my mind, but I tasted every single one that awaited me at my desk each morning.”

Joan says that her mission in life is, “To educate as many people as possible to enjoy the pleasure of chocolate.” So when she’s not developing brand and product concepts, conducting educational seminars for professional chefs and sales forces, or giving state of the industry speeches to top-level industry management types; she participates in chocolate tasting parties for fundraisers, alumni groups, charities and even individuals.
