"My first truffle collection, the birth of Vosges®, and the origin of Travel the World through Chocolate™ lies within the Exotic Truffle Collections. After returning from Le Cordon Bleu in Paris and a trip around the world, I began to use chocolate as my medium to recount the adventures of my travels. After you unravel the purple bow, the wanderlust begins…where do you want to go? Nagaland is vibrant with curry, macadamia nuts beckon to Australia. Relish in Chinese star anise, reminiscent of the forbidden green absinthe of days long past. Open your senses and experience the culture, take a bite and imagine what it is like to stand on the streets of Shanghai. Milk, white or dark chocolate first? I suggest starting with white, but break the rules and follow your instincts. Be a rolling stone…."

peace, love + chocolate

80-page Journey Journal to ignite your creativity and launch your own journey

The most delicious, curious, and heart-led journey around the world is what inspired the first exotic truffle and the concept of Travel the World through Chocolate. Three days after graduation from Vanderbilt University, I moved to Paris to pursue my dream to study culinary arts at Le Cordon Bleu. Using my palate and intuition as my guides, I embarked on a world tour that began with an apprenticeship in Spain under the direction of Ferran and Albert Adrià and continued east through Southeast Asia and Australia. I didn't have a clear idea of where I would go on my trip eastbound from Europe. The trip was truly intuition led. Everything I saw was a sign guiding me where I should go next. I trusted my gut more than ever and believed so firmly that the journey would culminate in the path of my destiny. My experiences and an epiphany with a necklace made by the Nagaland tribe led to a life of storytelling through the medium of chocolate, which I use to provoke minds to open up to new ideas and possibilities – not just about food, but about people and experiences. 
My journey has been surprising, challenging, fulfilling, inspiring, and humbling… but let me not get ahead of myself. I invite you to taste your way through some highlights of the past 20 years. It all started with the Naga...
Peace, love and chocolate®,
